Life philosophy based on Google searches


Have I found 'the one'?

Should I be allowed to say whatever I want?

Millions of people ask Google all sorts of questions, everything from the big and small.

Responding to the biggest, existential questions asked online and using the wisdom of Plato, Kant, Kierkegaard and other philosophical greats philosopher, academic, and all-round polymath, Stephen Law, undertakes the challenge and explores our modern-day concerns with tongue-in-cheek sagacity.

No matter what you’ve googled in a midnight moment of existential despair, this book will answer all your burning questions.

A humorous yet serious introduction to philosophy, answering people's real questions from the internet. Nobody will agree with all of it, but it will make everybody think harder. It is full of good and important stuff -- The Reverend Canon Professor Keith Ward, University of Oxford
The wisdom of the past addressing the questions of contemporary life. Law is able to make the most challenging philosophical ideas accessible and relevant to everyday life. A joy to read -- Dr Philip Goff, author of Galileo's Error
