Förlagets beskrivning
In the venerable tradition of Socrates, Cicero, and Santayana, Irving Singer elucidates a naturalistic philosophy of the good life. The key to Singer's art of life is to take life as art, which allows a dovetailing of reality (nature) with the creative self (spirit).
In a straightforward, unpretentious style, the reader is led away from Cartesian dualism through a deft synthesis of concepts from Schopenhauer, Mill, Kant, Hume, Husserl, Sartre, Dewey, and Santayana, to an aesthetic philosophy that takes imagination and consummatory enrichment not only as the basis of art but also of ethics. There are contestable points in Singer's work, but Singer himself says that this is as it should be: this is not a work of syllogistic theorizing, rather it is a world view that others may consider and revise. Singer's philosophy should appeal to those who seek a viable holism within the Western tradition. This volume may be read independently of the first two books in the trilogy.
