This book starts with a call to reason. Other concepts are closely woven in, including the distinction between reason, thinking, and feeling, where they merge, and how one may stimulate the others.This book makes use of the classical philosophical framework, the Platonic dialogue. The dialogue format is well suited to serious topics such as violence - but it is also well suited for less than serious subjects. Bouncing ideas off each other, the characters in this book find some clarity as they evaluate and refine their own positions, gaining clarity and confidence.
