The Child and the Sage: A Dialogue on Life
About This Book
The Child and the Sage is a dialogue examining essential principles for living meaningfully, structured as a conversation between a sage and a pupil. The dialogue is framed around observations of a playing child, using this device to explore fundamental questions about virtue, vice, and the good life.
In this compact work, Jeffrey Katz continues his exploration of ancient wisdom applied to modern living, building on the Maimonidean themes of his earlier works. The conversational format makes philosophical concepts accessible and engaging for general readers.
