Description
Book Introduction
A fresh look at college life through the power of reasoning

University is a place to learn knowledge and the first stage to learn how to think for yourself.
"Philosophy Encountered at University" explores how philosophy goes beyond being a mere liberal arts subject and transforms college students' attitudes toward life, academics, and interpersonal relationships.
It introduces the major ideas of various philosophers along with the reflective daily life of philosophy students.


This is the story of a young man who, despite his major studies, career concerns, relationships with friends, and social anxiety, tried not to lose sight of the questions, "Why do I learn?" and "What kind of life do I want to live?"

Philosophy is not a discipline that provides answers, but rather a discipline that cultivates the power to ask questions.
"Philosophy Encountered at University" will broaden your perspective and serve as a compass for those seeking to interpret the world through their own judgment.

Publisher's Review
When we first open the door to a university lecture hall, we think we are going to learn knowledge.
As time goes by, I come to realize that true learning is learning how to think.

"Philosophy I Met at University" is a book that contains the journey of enlightenment.
Philosophy is not an abstract concept, but rather a way to face the questions we face in the real world we live in.


Questions like ‘Why do I study?’, ‘What is right?’, and ‘Who am I?’ are no longer confined to textbooks or books.
It soon manifests itself in my today, my relationships, and my life.
It depicts the process of understanding oneself, respecting others, and developing the power to reflect on the world through philosophy in a simple and vivid manner.

Philosophy is not difficult.
Rather, it brings out the question 'why?' that we have been harboring in our hearts.
"Philosophy Encountered at University" is a warm guidebook that presents the joy of thought and the possibility of growth to all young people who are at the starting point of their questions.
