Aerobics for the Mind: Practical Exercises in Philosophy That Anybody Can Do

?Philosophy begins in wonder.? -Aristotle

Remember when you were a child and incessantly asked your parents ?Why?? You still had that childhood gift of wondering about everything from the simple ?Why can?t I touch the stove eye when it?s red?? to the most profound questions people can ask ?Why can?t I see God if He?s real??

A common perception of philosophers is of the wizened old guru, sitting on a mountain top contemplating his navel; or worse, a stodgy, boring intellectual that everyone avoids at parties. But philosophy, at its best, is a joyous profession. Philosophers never stop wondering, why? They ask the most profound and universal questions: ?Why am I here?? ?Does life have a meaning?? ?Is there a God?? ?Do I have an immortal soul?? ?What happens when I die?? Philosophers have the joy of re-living the wonder of a child.

Aerobics for the Mind: Practical Exercises in Philosophy that Anybody Can Do is a book for anyone who still has that unique, childlike sense of wonder.
