Inman\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePhilosophy is often seen as anything but practically relevant to everyday life. In this brief, accessible introduction, Ross Inman explores four hidden assumptions that lurk behind questions involving philosophy's relevance. He shows that philosophy is one of most practical subjects of study, for it satisfies our deep human need to make sense of it all.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book recovers a more classical vision of Christian philosophy as an entire way of life. Inman shows that wonder is the distinctively human posture that drives and sustains the examined life and makes a compelling case that philosophy is valuable, practical, and significant for every aspect of Christian life and ministry. Living philosophically as a Christian enables us to be properly attuned to what is true and good in Christ and to orient our lives to the highest goals worth pursuing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is an ideal introductory book for students of philosophy, Christian thought, and worldview studies. It will also work well in classical school, high school, and homeschool contexts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"An immensely helpful guide to a life well-lived\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis brief and accessible introduction shows that philosophy is valuable, practical, and significant for every aspect of Christian life and ministry.\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"This is one of the best (if not \u003ci\u003ethe\u003c\/i\u003e best) introductions to philosophy I have ever read.
