What Would Nietzsche Do?

Let the greatest minds of every generation advise you on the everyday problems in your life. Ever wondered if Schopenhauer could fix your broken heart? How Heraclitus might help you if you lost your phone? Given the chance, would Foucault leave the toilet seat up? With sections on Relationships, Self and Identity, How to Live, Art and Aesthetics, and Politics, there is an answer to each of modern life''s questions here. Each section is comprised of a collection of questions, from ''Is Shakespeare better than the Simpsons?'' to ''Should I get a takeaway tonight?''; from little niggling questions, to the great mysteries of human existence. With Marcus Weeks''s illuminating commentary on each philosopher''s answer to the question at hand, you''ll be spouting Socrates and discussing Descartes before you know it. A guide to life, of sorts, and also a fantastic introduction to philosophy for anyone looking to broaden their knowledge of the subject.
