DESCRIPTION
This Book written with clarity, these reflections represent a useful introduction to some of the varied philosophical treasures that exist in our tradition. The word philosophy itself comes from the Greek, Meaning 'love of wisdom', and any attempt to throw light upon our vast and varied tradition of wisdom is to be welcomed. Indeed a re-articulation and reaffirmation of our philosophical roots is an important continuing exercise.
