FATHERHOOD

PHILOSOPHY FOR EVERYONE

It has been said that being a father is what finally gives a man his meaning in life. And a father’s role has never been so involved – or expectations so high. There’s a lot for dads to discover, and as Socrates demonstrated, learning really begins when we as fathers realize how little we know. But, no fear, help is at hand as Fatherhood – Philosophy for Everyone offers wisdom and practical advice drawn from the annals of philosophy, exploring paternal concerns such as:

• Fatherhood and the meaning of life
• The impact of change in men who become fathers
• How to raise well-adjusted children and have a more fulfilling and enjoyable experience of fatherhood
• Do real fathers bake cookies?

Both thought-provoking and practical, Fatherhood – Philosophy for Everyone provides a valuable starting and ending point for reflecting on this crucial role.
