Book Synopsis
An analysis of the state of philosophy today, how it got there, and how it can be adjusted to have a more immediate relationship to daily life and the events of the world.

Trade Review
"Hampe offers a learned reflection on the forms philosophy has taken, providing guideposts for the future development of the field. In ways reminiscent of Hadot and Dewey, he reanimates the Socratic project of treating philosophy as an activity rather than simply a doctrine, arguing that philosophy needs a renewed commitment to non-doctrinal, agnostic thinking for an era where technoscience is creating new forms of life." --Robert Frodeman, University of North Texas
