Who Am I? And If So, How Many?

PHILOSOPHY. There are many books about philosophy, but "Who Am I? And If So How Many?" is different from the rest. Never before has anyone introduced readers so expertly and, at the same time, so light-heartedly and elegantly to the big philosophical questions. Drawing on neuroscience, psychology, history, and even pop culture, Richard David Precht deftly elucidates the questions at the heart of human existence: What is truth? Does life have meaning? Why should I be good? And presents them in concise, witty, and engaging prose. The result is an exhilarating journey through the history of philosophy and a lucid introduction to current research on the brain. "Who Am I? And If So, How Many?" is a wonderfully accessible introduction to philosophy.
