Review:
This is truly a work of imaginative thinking. It confronts the great questions in a world in which we are all too often content with avoiding them in our obsession with particularity. It listens attentively to the great masters of philosophy and literature which have gone before, but knows that we can never truly think until we have summoned the courage to think for ourselves ... I really enjoyed reading this book! --Prof David Jasper, Professor of Literature and Theology, University of Glasgow; Changyang Chair Professor, Renmin University of China
This book is a perfect illustration of Whitehead s famous metaphor of the flight of an aeroplane. The authors start from the ground of solid observation of, and literary insights into, the challenges of everyday life; then they take a flight into the thin air of speculative thinking, using the resources of philosophy. And then, again, they land for a renewed and fresh interpretation of thorny issues, including suffering, death and immortality. An inspiring quest and a splendid work! --Prof Jan Van der Veken, Emeritus Professor of Philosophy, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium
