While the philosophers?? ruminations lose their grounding in academic method, the liveliness that takes hold of their ideas more than makes up for the loss, making “Examined Life” 87 minutes of excitement for the mind—with plenty of food for thought left for the walk home...

Set against the contrasting established views of the Church and the very beginnings of modern science, Nadler captures the intensity of their debate as they tried to understand the intellectual challenges of their day.
