A Map to the End of Time: Wayfarings with Friends and Philosophers
Ronald J. Manheimer, W.W. Norton, Spring 1999

Center director Ron Manheimer's newest, a "philosophy book about aging," is presented "in a lively and readable narrative [that] rescues philosophy from academic sterility and restores to living significance" (Booklist). "A charming novelistic reflection on philosophy by a teacher and student of the elderly" (Kirkus Review). Manheimer "genially recreates thought-provoking conversations with his unconventional students, friends and relatives (USA Today). "A masterpiece--the best thing since Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance," says Harry R. Moody, author of The Five Stages of the Soul. "Manheimer's personal quest for clarity, his wit and zest for life are woven artfully into a book that beckons every reader," asserts Thomas Cole author of The Journey of Life.
