The volume concludes by investigating how philosophy works, how it makes progress, and its role in public life. 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. 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. The contributors discuss the relations between humans and animals, between genders, between tastes, between cultures, and between nations. These conversations illuminate diverse aspects of being human: personal, social, ethical, and political.
