Philosophy, Do You? By Masahiro Hirao Moebunsha, First edition April 2018 4x6 format, Price 1,600 yen, 204 pages The philosophical world seen beyond "Matsuko's Unknown World"?! The author, a serious "philosophy-sick" patient who philosophizes even when pecked by a crow, offers a relaxed introduction to philosophy, covering various topics from everyday conversations to TV and manga. But it's actually a super-serious practical philosophy introduction! This is an extremely introductory book that explains in detail, with an almost meddlesome level of care, the starting points for "doing philosophy" in the true sense of the word – thinking for yourself and finding your own answers – as well as how to develop your thoughts and how to avoid mistakes. But you don't have to do philosophy to live! You'll just live without knowing a little bit of the enjoyment of life. Haha! The book appears to be in good condition, please see the photos. We ask for the understanding of those who are familiar with used books.
