<왜 나는 너를 사랑하는가>, <여행의 기술>의 작가 알랭 드 보통의 철학 에세이. 철학사 속에서 일상적인 삶의 문제를 다룬 여섯 명의 철학자들의 입을 빌어 인생의 여러 문제들에 대한 답을 찾는다.

드 보통이 말하는 철학의 조건은, '지금 안고 있는 인생 고민에 해결점을 던져 주는가' 하는 것. 일상의 문제에 도움을 주는 것이 아니면 수많은 명저와 명언을 남긴 철학자라도 가차없이 관심의 대상에서 제외시켰다.

이렇게 선택된 철학자는 스크라테스, 에피쿠로스, 세네카, 몽테뉴, 쇼펜하우어, 니체 등 여섯 명. 소크라테스는 인기 없음을 위로하며, 세네카는 직업의 상실 등 좌절에 조언을 제공하며, 니체는 질병과도 같은 고독에 대한 처방전을 소개한다.

드 보통 특유의 재치와 통찰력으로 무거운 철학적 지식을 일상 생할로 끌어 들인 매력이 넘치는 책이다.
