In Heart of Philosophy, Needleman explores philosophy and how our human search for meaning is integral to our lives. Needleman documents his experiences teaching courses in philosophy at a high school, and shows to us how real philosophy, the love and search for meaning, is a fact of human nature.

"Needleman brings a scholar's knowledge along with a personal warmth to this work, producing a provocative and moving study. Socrates and Plato emerge as living beings whose teaching are as vital and relevant today as they were 2300 years ago, making one feel that philosophy can play an invaluable role in aiding one's own personal transformation."
