Ebook: Death and the disinterested spectator: an inquiry into the nature of philosophy

From back cover - Book examines the nature of philosophy in light of philosophy's claim to be a preparation for death. Does philosophy have any real power, or is it merely idle talk? The background against which this question is explored is a re-interpretation of Plato's Phaedo, Augustine's Confessions and Desscartes' Discourse on Method. (Description by http-mart)
