Do the gods determine the shape of our lives or do fortune and free will play its part?
Kunpit, perhaps the greatest of the wandering philosophers, pondered this question over the course of his life. In his final years, after his return to the city of Butophulo and his academy, he spent many evenings debating such questions with the people of the metropolis. Dinon Kosua, his most loyal student, preserved the best of those conversations here, for posterity.
In this series of philosophical debates, Kunpit explores how geography shapes the lives we live, whether the collective good should always be prioritised over the freedom of the individual and who should be allowed to hold power over others. It is only by answering these questions, he argues, that we can then determine how to cultivate a good and virtuous life.
Kunpit questions as a disinterested observer, but his own life of challenge and loss, triumph and exile, colour his thoughts and shape his argument more than he would care to admit.
