    Peter Kreeft, esteemed philosophy professor and author of over eighty books, has taught college philosophy for sixty years. Throughout those decades, he yearned for a beginner's philosophy text that was clear, accessible, enjoyable, and exciting (perhaps even funny). Finding none that met those criteria, he eventually decided to write it himself.  In this four-volume series, Kreeft delivers, with his characteristic wit and clarity, an introduction to philosophy via the hundred greatest philosophers of all time. Socrates’ Children examines the big ideas of four major eras―ancient, medieval, modern, and contemporary―and immerses the reader in the “great conversation,” the ongoing dialogue among the great thinkers of history, including the most influential philosopher of all: Socrates, the father of Western philosophy.  Volume IV: Contemporary Philosophers surveys the great philosophers of the last two hundred years and observes the splintering of philosophy into a wide array of philosophical enterprises. Some, unhinged from the past, rebel against the very endeavor of philosophy, but others, seeking to revitalize ancient conversations, return to and renew the deepest questions of meaning, happiness, and the human person.

    7 Signs You Might Be Scared of...

    Intimacy is a fundamental part of human relationships, yet for many, it can feel overwhelming, even terrifying. While the desire for deep emotional connection exists, fear often creates barriers that prevent meaningful bonds from forming. This fear of intimacy can manifest in various ways—some obvious, others more subtle—causing individuals to push people away, sabotage relationships, or struggle with vulnerability. Understanding these signs is the first step toward breaking free from the patterns that keep love and closeness at a distance.  
      
    Many people who fear intimacy are unaware of their struggle, believing their actions stem from a need for independence or personal space. While autonomy is essential, there is a significant difference between healthy boundaries and emotional avoidance. For those who experience anxiety around deep emotional or physical closeness, relationships can become a source of stress rather than comfort. The walls built to protect against hurt and rejection can also prevent the fulfillment that comes with genuine connection.  
      
    Fear of intimacy is not an isolated issue—it is often rooted in past experiences. Childhood attachment patterns, past heartbreaks, or even societal influences can shape one’s ability to trust and connect with others. If a person grew up in an environment where emotional needs were ignored or dismissed, they may learn to suppress their own feelings to avoid pain. Likewise, repeated experiences of betrayal or disappointment in relationships can reinforce the belief that intimacy leads to hurt, causing a person to unconsciously avoid closeness.
