The Questions of Life
FERNANDO SAVATER
Complutense University of Madrid

This book by one of Spain's most eminent philosophers provides a lively and very accessible introduction to philosophy. Written for those who have no prior knowledge of the field, it reveals how the central problems of philosophy remain highly relevant to everyday contemporary life. Savater addresses the questions that we ourselves must face: what is this 'I' that I take for granted? what does it mean for me to be in the world? in what sense am I free? and how does the idea of death affect my life?

The Questions of Life has already been translated into ten languages and has enjoyed enormous success, selling over 70,000 copies in Spain alone. It is an elegant and straightforward book which abstains from specialised terminology. It constitutes an ideal introductory text for students who are considering reading philosophy at A-Level or university, and will also be of great interest to the general reader.
