Dr. Douglas Groothuis, UO PhD in Philosophy (Spring 1993) and Professor of Philosophy at Denver Seminary, has written a new book Philosophy in Seven Sentences: A Short Introduction to a Vast Topic (InterVarsity Press, January 2016).

Author’s Statement:
“Each chapter looks at a particular philosopher and a representative sentence.
1. Protagoras – Man is the measure of all things.
2. Socrates – The unexamined life is not worth living.
3. Aristotle – All men by nature desire to know.
4. Augustine – You have made us for yourself, and restless is our heart until it comes to rest in you.
5. Descartes – I think, therefore I am.
6. Pascal – The heart has its reasons of which reason knows nothing.
7. Kierkegaard – The greatest hazard of all, losing one’s self, can occur very quietly in the world, as if it were nothing at all.”
