In accordance with those goals, you will find context, overviews, examples, and explanations.

Søndergaard Jensen believes that philosophy is a transformational discipline that is supportive of life's greatest endeavors. The choice to study philosophy is a choice of persistence. Philosophy is, admittedly, an acquired taste of study. Still, philosophy is indispensable for personal and academic development. No progress comes without an initial question or a critical thought concerning change. Philosophy inspired Søndergaard Jensen to start her podcast Emma-ism and begin her mission to make philosophy accessible to all and enjoyable to learn. The Emma-ism premise is to collaborate, create, and celebrate. This book is a manifestation of that mission, and she hopes it will serve as a resource and guide that will be referred to again and again by students of philosophy.
