A Philosophical Kaleidoscope: Thoughts, Contemplations, Aphorisms - Hardcover

by Giannis Delimitsos (Author)

A kaleidoscope of philosophical thoughts, novel contemplations and sharp aphorisms - in praise of what is and not merely what ought to be!

Offering answers - or at least insight into - questions such as: Is there intrinsic meaning in human life?

Can we ever truly know something with absolute certainty?

Is free will an illusion?

Can the suppression of desires bring happiness?

Has self-deception in humans been favored by natural selection?

Why are hypocrisy and insincerity so widespread in human societies?

Is Morality objective, and can it be preserved without religions?

Should philosophy aim primarily to attain approximate truths, or is its main purpose to offer peace of mind and a good mental life?

Is the pandemic of self-admiration and self-deification in the West a product of the decline of religion - or of disinterest in philosophy?

Is Selfhood an illusion?

Can there be any freedom in a deterministic world?

Is it true that the unexamined life is not worth living?
