Inner Space Philosophy

This imaginative work explores the critical role of philosophy in shaping our future, emphasizing creativity in philosophical discourse. Inner Space Philosophy invites deep reflection.

In Inner Space Philosophy, readers embark on a thought-provoking journey that intertwines imagination and drama with philosophical inquiry. The author, Tartaglia, presents a compelling argument for the essential role of philosophy in shaping our future. He asserts that the imaginative aspects of philosophical discourse have been overlooked in favor of a more scientific approach, which has led to a diminished appreciation for the depth and richness that philosophy can offer. Through engaging narratives, Tartaglia encourages readers to embrace a more philosophical mindset, suggesting that we must evolve into 'a philosophical people' to navigate the complexities of modern existence.

The book delves into various themes, including the meaning of life, idealism versus materialism, and the challenges posed by determinism. Tartaglia also draws connections to contemporary issues, such as the influence of video games and existential threats facing humanity. These discussions are framed within a series of imaginative encounters with philosophers from different eras, including those from the past and future. The narrative culminates in a cosmic confrontation involving 'Lady Luck', 'Fate', and 'Philosophy', illustrating the ongoing struggle for understanding and meaning in our lives.

Additionally, Inner Space Philosophy features a unique biography of Gambo Lai Lai, a Cynic philosopher from Trinidad during the vibrant golden age of calypso music. This multifaceted approach not only entertains but also challenges readers to reflect deeply on their own beliefs and the philosophical underpinnings of their lives.
