[Book Introduction] Insanely Kind Philosophy

Solving Life's Problems Is Ultimately Not Science but Philosophy

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kang Sharon] Many people decide to study philosophy and challenge it with a serious mind, but most stop after looking into a few Greek philosophers. This is because philosophy is too abstract, distant from reality, and difficult to grasp in context.

Madly Kind Philosophy (written by Ahn Sangheon), published by Planet B, is a book designed to easily understand the context of philosophy. It clearly organizes the thoughts of philosophers and is structured to help readers understand the flow of philosophy through different eras.

The author states, “I believe the reason for studying philosophy is to live a better life. To do so, one must look beyond oneself to humanity, and beyond daily life to the times. Only then does it become clear what the philosophy we are currently studying can do. By studying philosophy, thinking can grow and expand because it transcends the individual called ‘I’ and crosses the barrier of the moment called ‘time.’”

This book does not emphasize any particular ideology but aims to follow the development of human thought by understanding the flow and context of philosophy.
