His philosophical, educational, and public activity has been an attempt to show the relevance of philosophy to life. This is the first book dedicated to his thought. International scholars have proposed different themes in Lachs? philosophy, so as to present its enormous potential. Lachs? responses to his critics shows that dialogue with his critics is an inspirational activity for both sides. Lachs? way of philosophizing can be seen as exemplary for those who want to unify and present a clear and understandable articulation of moral and philosophical messages to everyone. 410 0$aValue Inquiry Book Series$v315. 606 $aPhilosophy, American 606 $aPhilosophers$zUnited States 615 0$aPhilosophy, American. 615 0$aPhilosophers 676 $a191 701 $aSkowron?ski$b Krzysztof Piotr$0868923 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910796979403321 996 $aJohn Lach's practical philosophy$93832813 997 $aUNINA
