Las Preguntas de la Vida

More about the book

What is the purpose of philosophy? While science addresses many of our perplexities and problems, certain questions remain open, eluding definitive solutions and echoing through generations. These inquiries pertain to death, truth, the universe, freedom, justice, beauty, and time. Philosophy does not aim to provide final answers but instead teaches us to pose these questions in increasingly enriching ways, offering tentative responses that help us coexist rationally with them. It is preferable to keep the great questions alive rather than hastily settle for small answers. This book serves as an elementary introduction to philosophical reflection, suitable for those approaching the study of philosophy for the first time in high school, as well as for anyone at any age seeking to understand the foundations of this intellectual tradition.
