NOTES ON THE ART OF LIFE by Haim Shapira

by: Haim Shapira

This is a personal, cheerful and idiosyncratic tour through the thoughts and experiences of philosophers, artists and academics, forging a path through the contradictions of philosophy and the intractable challenges of life (both existential and mundane). Shapira clearly enjoys exploring a wide range of philosophies, from Aristotle to Zhuang Zhu and Epicurus to Socrates, touring the arts and thoughts of Abd al-Rahman III to Tolstoy and examining a myriad of essential topics, from silence and regret to happiness and arriving finally at love. His book is like having a chatty and quite excitable friend guide you round a library of good books and different schools of thought. A companion who aims to comfort and reassure you about the complexities and challenges of life.
