Adam Ferner pôsobil v akademickej filozofii vo Francúzsku aj vo Veľkej Británii, ale oveľa radšej pracuje mimo akademickú sféru v centrách pre mládež a iných alternatívnych vzdelávacích priestoroch. Jeho záujem spočíva v skúmaní filozofie prostredníctvom nekonvenčných prístupov a v podpore kritického myslenia mimo tradičných inštitúcií. Preferuje spoluprácu, kde je intelektuálna práca spravodlivo ohodnotená, čo viedlo k založeniu písacej skupiny pre mladých ľudí.
Philosophy: A Crash Course emphasises the collaborative nature of philosophy, showcasing the way that thinkers' thoughts become intertwined, and focuses on how philosophy-even in its most abstract form-intersects with everyday concerns, integrating older philosophical discussions with newer debates.
Philosophy is about our lives and how we live them. Using a unique, visual approach to explore philosophical concepts, Adam Ferner shows how philosophy is one of our best tools for responding to the challenges of the modern world. From philosophical ‘people skills’ to ethical and moral questions about our lifestyle choices, philosophy teaches us to ask the right questions, even if it doesn't necessarily hold all the answers. With 20 dip-in sessions from history's great philosophers alongside today's most pioneering thinkers, this book will guide you to think deeply and differently.
