Author Description

"This book considers philosophy to be more than mere reflection. Through philosophy humankind can give meaning to the world. In part, this book re-evaluates the philosophy of Leo Apostel, who dedicated his life to the investigation of the use of philosophy in everyday life. But it is also a presentation of international research carried out along the lines of the worldviews-project. The book addresses not only professional philosophers, but also students, teachers, academics and everyone interested in the relation between philosophy and the world."--BOOK JACKET.
