- Can philosophy really save your life? Well, it might not stop you from dying, but it can make sure you are truly alive. Find out how in this talk.
Scott Samuelson studied philosophy at Grinnell College (BA, 1995, valedictorian) and Emory University (PhD, 2001). Since 2000 he has taught at Kirkwood Community College in Iowa. Inspired by his students, he wrote his first book The Deepest Human Life: An Introduction to Philosophy for Everyone (University of Chicago Press, 2014). He also writes movie reviews for Little Village and hosts Ethical Perspectives on the News, a Sunday-morning talk show on KCRG, the local ABC affiliate. For a decade he moonlighted as an occasional sous-chef at Simone’s Plain and Simple, a French restaurant on a gravel road. He’s published articles in the Wall Street Journal, the Huffington Post, the Chronicle of Higher Education, The Philosopher’s Magazine, and The Atlantic. On top of his job at Kirkwood, he teaches philosophy at Oakdale Prison. He’s currently working on his second book, Seven Ways of Looking at Pointless Suffering.

@@AVG-ub5sj beautiful.
Why do jobs and nations exist, when planets and supernovas exist?
Because civilization accustomed the such to living.
But it's very possible that mathematics is opposed to nations and jobs, and that jobs and nations obstruct the ability of trees and grass to see thoughts and opinions
But trees and grass cannot witness or behold thoughts and opinions.
Why?
Because they do not hold the nessecary tools to do so, such as a brain.
Finally, better to come to Jesus after all those Greek guys:) Very good is Nicolas Berdyaev on those issues!
Yes. My major is philosophy but I'm aware of exactly what you are saying...
Let us go for it together:)
Am I the Only one hearing the moaning?

It's a baby.
It's an infant.
the only Hope and Salvation for sinful man is JESUS CHRIST, the LORD of glory, alone.
Nope!
