Produktbeschreibung
In this beautifully written book David Cooper uses a gentle walk through a tropical.garden, the view of the fields and hills beyond it, the sound of birds, voices and flute, the reflection of light in water, the play of shadows among the tree and presence of strange animals, as an opportunity to engage with the mystery of existence. Covering an extensive range of topics, from Daoism to Debussy, Cooper does a great job of conveying some deep and difficult philosophical ideas about the meaning of life in an engaging manner - and of showing, moreover, how those ideas bear upon the practical question of how we should live our lives. A thought-provoking and engaging book, Senses of Mystery is a triumph of both storytelling and philosophy.
