Felsefeyi Yaşamak

In his book "Living Philosophy", Ray Billington starts from the point that philosophy is something that is experienced, close to our daily problems and joys. According to him, philosophy gives us the knowledge and confidence necessary to look deeply at ourselves/life, to face the facts without fear, and to direct our lives. Such a philosophy cannot be written in an impersonal, dry, technical language. It should be written in a language that encompasses life, makes you think while making you laugh, is open to anxiety, and spreads joy and hope: like "Living Philosophy"...
Topics such as the origin of ethical rules and what moral approaches will bring and what they will take away constitute the essence of this book. "Living Philosophy" is a book written to help us get to know some of the issues we frequently encounter in daily life, to see how a philosopher can look at these issues, and more importantly, to help understand how the connection between philosophy in general and ethics in particular, and daily life is formed.
In "Living Philosophy" there are no results, there are searches. The talk pursues questions: What is the scope of philosophy; In what fields do philosophers work and what is the relationship of these fields with daily life? What is meant by epistemology, metaphysics and logic? What is ethics? What is the place of ethics in philosophy and life? Is it possible to know, and if so, how can we be sure? Does life have a purpose or meaning? How and based on what criteria do we make our choices when we encounter difficult situations? What are the factors that activate our decision-making mechanism in a certain situation and which moral rules do they work in parallel with? What does God, as the source of morality, tell us? On what basis is the understanding of morality of various religions and philosophical approaches based? What have been the main approaches to freedom issues? What is meant by the word "education" that we often pronounce? What kind of education can lead us to what results? What is the connection between politics and morality?
To those who think that the only way to tolerate our own existence and death is to create, to create ourselves and our lives!..
