Philosophical express: Life lessons from great thinkers

Eric Weiner combines his passion for philosophy with love for around the world, going to a pilgrimage that will tell about amazing life lessons from great thinkers from around the world - from Rousseau to Nietzsche, from Confucius to Simone Weil. Traveling by train (a way of moving perfectly for thought), he overcomes thousands of kilometers, making stops in Athens, Delhi, Wyoming, Koni Alenda, Frankfurt, to discover the initial purpose of philosophy: to teach us how to lead a more wise, more meaningful life . From Socrates and ancient Athens to Simone de Bovoir and Paris of the twentieth century, philosophers chosen by the author and places become important landmarks in the modern chaotic world
