Synopsis

“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.

He has authored or co-authored over thirty scholarly articles and book chapters and has delivered over fifty presentations at scholarly conferences.

He and his wife, Karen, live with their three cats, Frodo, Pippin, and Rosie, in Linden, North Carolina.

Review

"The author worked hard to come up with 'down to earth' (that anyone can do) examples that adroitly provide the reader with a  reflective doorway  into the key perspectives on substantive philosophical issues. This book will make a wonderful supplemental text for introduction to philosophy courses or for history of philosophy courses that utilize primary readings."          --Prof. L. Manning Garrett, University of Memphis
