Summary/Abstract: In the book we recommend, Zbigniew Zdunowski who taught philosophy and ethics for thirty years, shares his experience on how to speak of the perennial philosophical questions in a demanding environment of the contemporary high school. The work begins with the Word from the Author. Next, there are two parts divided into chapters. The first part With Philosophy Through Life consists of: I. Philosophy Introduces Itself, II. How Many Philosophical Words There Exists?, III. Almost Everything on Love, IV. Philosophy in Search for Freedom, V. The One Truth or The Many Ones?; Part II With Ethics Closer to Life: I. Ethics Introduces Itself, II. Is It Possible to Define Goodness? Three Steps to Understand Goodness, III. Problems with Man, IV. Ethical Aspects of Euthanasia, V. Aftermaths of the Black March, IV. Genderism, VII. On Tolerance From Another Perspective, VIII. How to Discuss with an Ethical Relativist. Next is the Summary and the Index of Names. Many chapters encourage to develop our interest in philosophy in appendices- Invitation to Thinking, there is also a part for more ambitious readers- as the Author calls them- The Short Logical Appendix, and finally there is a proposal titled How to Discuss with the Ethical Relativists When Arguments Fail? The Author prepared a wide variety of materials to which we, encouraged to critical thinking, may turn in various debates. Although the work refrains from offering a systematic study on philosophical schools, it can be an inspiring source for any reader interested in a deeper reflection on the variety of existential issues.
