Publisher Description One of Britains leading popular philosophers tackles the question at the root of our civilisation: what is knowledge for? Thinking itself, Midgley argues, needs to strengthen the connection between theory and practice. She challenges us to re-examine the protective barriers built to isolate science from other forms of enquiry, and each particular science from its neighbours. More urgently still, philosophy itself needs to stop being treated as an obscure speciality, and take up its role as the key to understanding. This will be an important book for anyone concerned with the plight of education and institutionalized knowledge, and the fate of learning in the future. Author Biography Mary Midgley (1919-2018) was one of the most renowned moral philosophers of her generation and the author of many books, including Beast and Man, Wickedness and The Myths We Live By. She has taken part in many broadcast events, including The Moral Maze and Womans Hour.
