'The unconsidered life is not worth living' - Socrates. Thinking about life, what it means and what it holds in store does not have to be a despondent experience, but rather can be enlightening and uplifting. A life truly worth living is one that is informed and considered so a degree of philosophical insight into the inevitabilities of the human condition is inherently important and such an approach will help us to deal with real personal dilemmas. This book is an accessible, lively and thought-provoking series of linked commentaries, based on A. C. Grayling's 'The Last Word' column in the Guardian. Its aim is not to persuade readers to accept one particular philosophical point of view or theory, but to help us consider the wonderful range of insights which can be drawn from an immeasurably rich history of philosophical thought. Concepts covered include courage, love, betrayal, ambition, cruelty, wisdom, passion, beauty and death. This will be a wonderfully stimulating read and act as an invaluable guide as to what is truly important in living life, whether facing success, failure, justice, wrong, love, loss or any of the other profound experience life throws out.

与培根论说集很相似，每一小节专门探讨一个词语，比如“love”，“happiness”，“courage”等等, 本书更侧重于从道德哲学的角度和范畴来进行探讨。比培根的论述要严肃很多，趣味性不够。每一节都很短，两三页纸，结尾部分也一般都是开放性的。读起来比较顺畅。

以哲学观点论人性和人生，让人重新思考一些信为真理的理念。
