The Consolations of Philosophy - Alain De Botton Fiction its themes and its peopleAlain de Botton's The Consolations of Philosophy takes the discipline of logic and the mind back to its roots. Drawing inspiration from six of the finest minds in history Socrates, Epicurus, Seneca, Montaigne, Schopenhauer and Nietzsche he addresses lack of money, the pain of love, inadequacy, anxiety and conformity. De Botton's book led one critic to call philosophy 'the new rock and roll'.
