Reexamining Love of Wisdom

Philosophy

“In Reexamining Love of Wisdom, Juan Carlos Flores interprets the history of philosophy, not as a parade of diverse metaphysical, epistemological, and ethical doctrines, but as the expansion and contraction of a certain kind of love; quite literally, the love of wisdom. Working from this reorientation, Flores arrives at original and important insights into what has animated philosophical passion over the centuries. His highly readable book is characterized throughout by both fair-mindedness and critical penetration.”
