Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is not a typical philosophical text; it is only really a series of notes - what one might call short philosophical reflections - on various subjects grouped, loosely, into topics. Discussions in the book include an examination of the relationships between art and culture; what counts as good judgment (and why); rights and their relationship with our understanding of individuality; individuality and its relationship to ethical perspectives; what it means to receive a good education, and how this nourishes our understanding of the differences between education and training. It also looks at the role of art in education; the nature of art and its relationship with meaning, and the impact of the natural world on our understanding. Adrian Brockless is currently on the academic staff of Heythrop College, University of London.
