Is philosophy pointless blather or a necessity of human life? Two-minute answers to key questions about philosophy, politics, art, and the meaning of life.
Filmed in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The full series is published at the CEE Video Channel.
Description: At some point in our lives, we each ask ourselves the big questions. How we respond has great impact on our lives. Some accept easy answers or even try avoiding answering them —while others go on a quest to make their lives a meaningful adventure.
In Philosophy for Real Life, we follow Dr. Stephen Hicks on a philosophical journey as he takes up these questions:
* What is the good?
* Do we really need philosophy?
* What is the role of reason in life—and its difference with faith?
* What are emotions?
* Why is integrity essential to human dignity?
* Is ambition good?
* What is art and the source of its power?
* What is the connection of philosophy to politics?
* What is genuine individualism?
* What is freedom, really?
In this inspiring documentary, Dr. Hicks shows you his integrated vision of life and pushes you, gently, to ask yourself: What is your own voice?
