On Life

&quote;Do you believe we can know the truth about all things, or are there things we simply can never know the truth about?&quote; This quote from On Life captures the spirit of the book. In it, four friends - Director, Friend, Artist, and Scientist - pursue, in short philosophical dialogues, the truth about such topics as love, happiness, madness, belief, and pleasure, to name a few. The characters engage in serious inquiry, but in a lighter way, a way that allows them to hunt truths concerning life - without burning out.
