The Game of All Games is a collection of philosophical essays ranging over a number of topics central to the human condition: What does it mean to be free? How can we expand said freedom? Can we be tolerant in a pluralistic society and still recognize the notion of truth? What is truth, after all? Does life have a meaning that we can articulate? Can love survive the lifetime of paying bills, raising kids, arguing and making up that we call marriage? If so, how? These and similar questions are explored in this volume. The essays are written in a variety of genres that go from the traditional to the experimental, from the analytic to the literary, from the non-fictional to the fictional, adapting in each case to the natural movement of the ideas explored. Convinced that " p]hilosophy is nothing but our humanity unfolding in thought," the book avoids a purely academic approach and ensures that whatever it explores has some bearing on how we ought to live, painting stroke by stroke a vision of humanity that can accommodate freedom, truth, love, and the "other dreams" to which the subtitle alludes.
