Turned my life around

I had to read this in college at a time when I was really questioning my emotional stability. Reading this book helped me figure out what I wanted from life and how to react to situations. It completely turned my life around and made me emotionally stronger. I am not sure why this book helped me out so much, but I am grateful for John MacMurray! Highly recommended.

Inspirational Philosophy

This book is a collection of essays that Macmurray delivered as radio addresses for the BBC in the 1930's. They are fairly basic, but nevertheless challenging to both traditional philosophy and common assumptions. His redefinition of religion as the practical effort to produce a universal community, rather to merely reiterate traditional dogmas, is magnificent.Macmurray also deals with the role of science and art and their relation to religion. He sees each one as rooted in basic human experience and vital to the future of society. I have re-read all of his books over the years, except those that are out-of-print and hard to find, except in libraries.

Reason and Emotion

Timeless...thought provoking...perfect for anyone wanting to clarify their own philosophy. Take the time.
