But how should we respond instead? In \u003ci\u003eHow to Think like a Philosopher\u003c\/i\u003e, Julian Baggini turns to the study of reason itself for practical solutions to this question, inspired by our most eminent philosophers, past and present. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Baggini offers twelve key principles for a more humane, balanced, and rational approach to thinking: pay attention; question everything (including your questions); watch your steps; follow the facts; watch your language; be eclectic; be a psychologist; know what matters; lose your ego; think for yourself, not by yourself; only connect; and don't give up. Each chapter is chockful of real-world examples showing these principles at work--from the discovery of penicillin to the fight for trans rights--and how they lead to more thoughtful conclusions. More than a book of tips and tricks (or ways to be insufferably clever at parties), \u003ci\u003eHow to Think like a Philosopher \u003c\/i\u003eis an invitation to develop the habits of good reasoning that our world desperately needs.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJulian Baggini \u003c\/b\u003eis the author of many books, including \u003ci\u003eThe Pig That Wants to Be Eaten: 100 Experiments for the Armchair Philosopher\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Great Guide: What David Hume Can Teach Us about Being Human and Living Well\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eFreedom Regained: The Possibility of Free Will\u003c\/i\u003e, the latter also published by the University of Chicago Press.
