Socrates once said that a good person does not worry much about the little things, like whether he lives or dies, but only about the one big thing: whether he is a good person or a bad one. In Ethics for Beginners, celebrated philosopher Peter Kreeft reclaims the importance of ethical study in answering life's big questions: What is the meaning of life? How should I live? How should I treat other people? Unlike many modern texts on the subject...

Eloquent Christian meditations on death. Kreeft downplays theology by casting his book in the form of "thought experiments" - i.e., if, for the sake of argument, we grant the truth of Christianity, what insights do we gain? From this hypothetical standpoint he looks at five aspects of death: death as an enemy, as a stranger, as a friend, as a mother, and as a lover. For each of these personifications Kreeft offers a series of tightly organized...

Vatican II called the Bible "the support and energy of the Church, " "the pure and everlasting source of spiritual life, " and "the food of the soul." Yet, for many Catholics, their engagement with Scripture is often limited to what they hear at Mass. In Food for the Soul (Cycle B), the second book in a riveting three-part series, celebrated philosopher Peter Kreeft invites the faithful--clergy and laity alike--to a heart-to-heart relationship...

Volume IV: Contemporary Philosophers surveys the great philosophers of the last two hundred years and observes the splintering of philosophy into a wide array of philosophical enterprises. Some, unhinged from the past, rebel against the very endeavor of philosophy, but others, seeking to revitalize ancient conversations, return to and renew the deepest questions of meaning, happiness, and the human person.

Volume II: Medieval Philosophers studies the transformation of philosophy that came about due to an unprecedented figure--Jesus Christ--and considers the philosophers of the great monotheistic religions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam as they sought to marry the Greek philosophical tradition with divine revelation.

Volume III: Modern Philosophers explores a philosophical world caught up in the spirit of the Enlightenment--a time of both scientific discovery and social upheaval--and examines the philosophers who sought above all to answer the great questions of epistemology and politics: What is knowledge? How can we be certain? What is society? What is its greatest good?

Volume I: Ancient Philosophers investigates the foundations of philosophy laid by the ancient sages, Greeks, and Romans and introduces the philosophers who asked the first great philosophical questions--about good and evil, truth and falsehood, wisdom, beauty, and love, and the self, the world, and God"--
