"Philosophy is everybody’s business," says Mark Brumley, president of Ignatius Press, as he dives into the timeless value of asking the right questions.

Whether you’re new to philosophy or seasoned in its study, this dialogue offers practical insights into applying philosophy to everyday life.
Mark Brumley, a double convert and seasoned publisher, shares why Kreeft’s conversational approach makes philosophy approachable for the modern reader. He highlights the power of dialogue in opening minds and deepening faith, reminding us that philosophy and Catholicism are inextricably linked.
