"A book based on the conversations of a professor with his students, questioning not just the issues of today, but the timeless dilemmas we all ultimately face. The dialog expresses doubts, fears, and the insights provided by history into 12 fundamental questions of human existence. We fill up our days with "getting by," and making it "day-by-day," while neglecting the deeper meaning that lies before us unseen. The 12 questions discussed (What is truth, good and evil, justice, liberty, equality, law, punishment, honor, friendship, relationships, happiness, and fate?) form the basis for much of what we know about living together successfully in a complicated world. Conversations about these questions will lead readers to think more clearly and make better judgments when faced with difficult life choices. This book focuses on 12 great questions we all have faced highlighting both their historical and contemporary relevance in a highly readable way, using actual conversations between a professor and his students inside and outside of class. This book is distinguished in combining both the philosophical basis for these timeless questions, while using conversations among a variety of different students to illustrate their relevance in contemporary life. If a person was to read only one book on the role of fundamental ideas in living and better life and in shaping a better society, this book provides poignant insights in an interesting and highly readable conversational format"--
