De Botton's instinct is surely right- if we are to bring philosophy to life we should look again at those thinkers who have sought to be not clever or paradoxical, but simply wise' Roger Scruton, Mail on Sunday %%%The Consolations of Philosophy is Alain de Botton's internationally bestselling guide to life.
