Awakening From The Meaning Crisis feels like a good survey course in cognitive science and the history of ideas. Vervaeke is bringing real liberal education to the masses, showing that learning is not the sole property of the university—that the reward for knowledge is not a diploma but a greater ability to understand and live in the world. Philosophy was alway supposed to be a living process, not the jargon-ridden conceptual games of a certain kind of intelligentsia. And Awakening From the Meaning Crisis is accessible to all those who will make the effort of attention. - Andrew Sweeny
