We have a fundamental need to understand who we are and the world we live in. Reason takes us a long way, but mystery remains. When our minds and senses are baffled, faith can seem justified--but faith is not knowledge. In \u003ci\u003eUltimate Questions\u003c\/i\u003e, acclaimed philosopher Bryan Magee provocatively argues that we have no way of fathoming our own natures or finding definitive answers to the big questions we all face. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith eloquence and grace, Magee urges us to be the mapmakers of what is intelligible, and to identify the boundaries of meaningfulness. He traces this tradition of thought to his chief philosophical mentors--Locke, Hume, Kant, and Schopenhauer--and shows why this approach to the enigma of existence can enrich our lives and transform our understanding of the human predicament. As Magee puts it, \"There is a world of difference between being lost in the daylight and being lost in the dark.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe crowning achievement to a distinguished philosophical career, \u003ci\u003eUltimate Questions\u003c\/i\u003e is a deeply personal meditation on the meaning of life and the ways we should live and face death.\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"In this fluently written and beautifully clear book, Bryan Magee offers a series of reflections on the human condition, based on a lifetime's study of the central questions of philosophy. \u003ci\u003eUltimate Questions\u003c\/i\u003e is a personal testament, one that reflects a yearning for answers coupled with an honest, and indeed humble, admission that such answers cannot be reached.\"\u003cb\u003e--John Cottingham, author of \u003ci\u003ePhilosophy of Religion: Towards a More Humane Approach\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBryan Magee has had an unusually multifaceted career as a professor of philosophy, music and theater critic, BBC broadcaster, and member of Parliament.
