These conversations illuminate diverse aspects of being human: personal, social, ethical, and political. The contributors discuss the relations between humans and animals, between genders, between tastes, between cultures, and between nations. They look at some of the things that are wrong with our world, such as injustice, deprivation, and bias; they consider the role of civility, trust, and consent in our interactions. There are reflections on the history of philosophy from Plato to Beauvoir, comparisons between Western philosophy and Buddhist philosophy, and discussion of philosophy in Africa. The volume concludes by investigating how philosophy works, how it makes progress, and its role in public life. Anyone interested in philosophical reflection on themselves and our world will find much to stimulate them here.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEdited by \u003cstrong\u003eSuki Finn\u003c\/strong\u003e, Lecturer in Philosophy Royal Holloway, University of London\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSuki Finn is a Lecturer in Philosophy at Royal Holloway, University of London.
