“The Space of Love and Garbage,” is a book that I worked on which collects for the first time in one place twenty of the most outstanding works from the Harvard Review of Philosophy. Some of the contributing authors include Arthur M. Meltzer, Stephen A. Erickson, Peter Berkowitz, and Jonathan Baron.
Focusing on personal, emotional and political issues, these pieces illuminate just those areas of philosophy and life that are most important to living ‘the good life’ to its fullest as an individual and as a citizen.
What are our responsibilities to each other, to the ones we love, to our society, to our country? In this book we bring philosophy back to its roots— asking questions that are both important and instructive to the general public, lovers, philosophers, and scholars.
We at the Harvard Review of Philosophy believe philosophy to be a vibrant and exciting way to address some of the most pressing and deepest concerns in life. The pieces pull from analytic, continental and ancient philosophical roots, and they address a variety of topics ranging from immigration to moral intuition, but they never stray from what we feel are philosophy’s central questions. Each chapter focuses on questions central to practical and normative questions of the human experience—primarily those involving life, love and politics.
This book is a companion volume to “All We Need Is a Paradigm: Essays on Science, Economics, and Logic,” — another collection of essays from The Harvard Review of Philosophy, that I edited while an undergraduate philosophy student at Harvard.
This book is available on Amazon.com and on eBay
