How Could I Believe in Santa Claus?

How to be yourself at a party where you don't know anyone?(Does the self exist?)Why does Grandma put a cap and a plaid sweater on her Yorkie?(Do animals have a reason?)How could I have stayed with such a stupid guy for so long?(Do we only desire things that we consider good?) When we hear "e;philosophy,"e; we sometimes think of incomprehensible or boring books. The very names of the authors are unpronounceable: Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Heidegger. Living or dead, they often look like zombies. They are in their own world and use words that we do not always understand, like "e;idiosyncrasy,"e; "e;ontological,"e; or "e;transcendental."e; In this book, we hope to remove these prejudices. Philosophy is not boring; it allows us to understand complex things in a simple way, and therefore it is never far from everyday life. It speaks to everyone. It is for everyone. Born in 1974, from Rouen, Gilles Vervisch is a teacher and a professor of philosophy.
