It was, we suppose, inevitable. Tom Wolfe's A Man in Full ends with The Stoic's Hour on American network television. (See Philosophy, April 1999.) Fiction, of course, but Philosophy, a Guide to Happiness, presented by the author of How Proust Can Change Your Life is real and over here and on British television. Professional philosophers are reported to be snooty at what they see as shameless opportunism (or is it just they are annoyed that they didnÕt have the idea for themselves?).
