Publisher's Synopsis
This book is partly a rewrite of essays that appeared in my earlier publications, A FEW DIFFERING OPINIONS and THINK ON THESE THINGS. These rewrites, and other included essays, ask us to take another look at what we think we know about politics, religion and other things that we like to argue about, while asking nothing more than our quiet attention. These philosophical discussions are important to me, not because they distinguish between right from wrong, but because they address the two biggest questions: "What are we?" and "What should we do?"
