Recommending books to other people is not easy, especially if you don't know the person well enough to do so.
The book I recommend today is called “On God and the World: an Autobiography in Conversations” and is by the philosopher Robert Spaeman from the year 2012.
I got to know Spaemann for the first time during my studies, when I was examining his work “On the Critique of Political Utopia” a little more closely.
When I was surprisingly assigned for a few months in 2012 and housed in a hotel, I grabbed his latest work to sweeten my evenings.
When the hotel room also had a bathtub that invited people to linger, there was no holding back.
Robert Spaemans autobiography pulled me in from the start and I just couldn't put it down. Wrapped up in his own life, he reflects on God and the world, opening up new perspectives for the willing reader.
I recommend reading his autobiography, especially on winter evenings like this one, and I intend to read this book again as soon as the pile of books on my desk has cleared up a bit.
"The task of philosophy is to reflect on the self-evident."
Robert Spaemann, About God and the World (2012)
