How Could I Believe in Santa Claus? - Philosophy in Everyday Life

How to be yourself at a party where you don't know anyone? (Does the self exist?) Why does Grandma put a cap and a plaid sweater on her Yorkie? (Do animals have a reason?) How could I have stayed with such a stupid guy for so long? (Do we only desire things that we consider good?) When we hear "philosophy, " we sometimes think of incomprehensible or boring books. The very names of the authors are unpronounceable: Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Heidegger.
Living or dead, they often look like zombies. They are in their own world and use words that we do not always understand, like "idiosyncrasy, " "ontological, " or "transcendental." In this book, we hope to remove these prejudices. Philosophy is not boring; it allows us to understand complex things in a simple way, and therefore it is never far from everyday life. It speaks to everyone. It is for everyone.
