Description: LOOKING FOR PHILOSOPHY by F. E. (Francis) Sparshott. (McGill-Queen’s University Press, Montreal, 1972, paperback, first and only edition, 171pages.) Sparshott was a star philosophy professor at the University of Toronto in the 1970s. He was unforgettable, if only for his habit of punching his own head throughout his lectures! His musings on the nature of philosophy, life, and the self herein reflect his broad personality: comic, poetic, dramatic,relentlessly analytic, enjoyable/likable, and – well, philosophic. Not as heavy-going as you might expect, but consistently interesting and thought-provoking. This copy is very good, other than a previous owner’s signature inside the front page.
