What is philosophy for? What is the point of complete devotion to intellectual work pitched between inevitable questions and impossible answers? In the three chapters of this volume, Salvatore Veca wrestles with some fundamental enigmas: the first concerns the very nature of philosophy; the second investigates the main challenge of political philosophy; the third investigates the roots of ethics.
