Summary

How do you know your life is worthwhile? How do you connect to the world around you? What sort of life is worth living? In her new book, Transcendence for Beginners , the philosopher and biographer Clare Carlisle works through answers to these questions, answers inspired by the philosopher Spinoza and the novelist George Eliot. And those answers, rather than pointing to something beyond, point us to transcendence in the here and now. Plus we talk about tradwives.
