Nasty, Brutish, and Short: Adventures in Philosophy with Kids by Scott Hershovit

Description: Nasty, Brutish, and Short by Scott Hershovitz Estimated delivery 4-14 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description A thought-provoking investigation into lifes biggest questions with the help of great philosophers, old and youngSay philosopher, and someone grand, old and bearded might come to mind. But, as philosophy professor Scott Hershovitz shows in this delightful debut, some of the best philosophers in the world are better described as nasty, brutish and short-that is to say, theyre children. Children make wonderful philosophers because they constantly question things that grown-ups take for granted, test theories about the people around them, and try to work out the way the world works. Following the lead of his two young sons, Rex and Hank, Hershovitz takes us on a unique tour through classical and contemporary philosophy, steered by questions like, does Hank have the right to drink Fanta? When is it okay to swear? And, does the number six exist?Fast-paced, funny, and brimming with tales of the delightful things children say and do, Nasty, Brutish & Short is a unique guide to the art of thinking. Alongside Rex and Hank, Hershovitz investigates big questions about rights, revenge, punishment and authority; questions about sex, gender and race; and questions about the nature of truth and knowledge, the size of the universe, and the existence of god. The result is an invigoratingly fresh way of thinking through the moral, social, and existential issues that most of us have learned to ignore, and an irresistible invitation to become more discerning thinkers, by cultivating our innate, childlike wonder at the world. Author Biography Scott Hershovitz is director of the Law and Ethics Program and professor of law and philosophy at the University of Michigan. He holds a BA in philosophy and politics from the University of Georgia, a JD from Yale Law School, and a D.Phil. from the University of Oxford, where he was a Rhodes Scholar.
