Imagine an extraordinarily intelligent and ingenious friend, incredibly cultured, who visits us after dinner to discuss the topics that interest us; getting into this work is a similar experience. Robert Nozick, one of the most curious and original thinkers of the twentieth century, with important contributions in broad fields of philosophy, brilliantly renews the Socratic attempt to discover life that deserves to be lived. In daring and moving meditations on love and death, creativity, happiness, sexuality or relationships between parents and children, up to the Holocaust, religious faith, politics and wisdom, Meditations on life returns the philosophy to its preeminent theme: the things that matter most. In this work we accompany Nozick in his reflections, evaluating our experiences and judgments with past thinkers, to embark on our own journey of understanding and change.
