2 posts | 3 read | 4 to read
Discover the world's greatest thinkers and their groundbreaking notions! Too often, textbooks turn the noteworthy theories, principles, and figures of philosophy into tedious discourse that even Plato would reject. Philosophy 101 cuts out the boring details and exhausting philosophical methodology, and instead, gives you a lesson in philosophy that keeps you engaged as you explore the fascinating history of human thought and inquisition. From Aristotle and Heidegger to free will and metaphysics, Philosophy 101 is packed with hundreds of entertaining philosophical tidbits, illustrations, and thought puzzles that you won't be able to find anywhere else. So whether you're looking to unravel the mysteries of existentialism, or just want to find out what made Voltaire tick, Philosophy 101 has all the answers--even the ones you didn't know you were looking for.

I spent today cataloguing philosophy texts from the library's founding collection. They don't look particularly old but some of them date to the seventeenth century!

LeahBergen I want to touch them. 😄 7y
Leniverse 😮😍🤗 7y
Moray_Reads @LeahBergen @Leniverse I have to admit, the contents couldn't interest me less but as objects they are beautiful 7y

Leniverse I'm desperately trying to read the titles, but my screen is too small and there's no zoom on Litsy photos. All I can make out is Thomas Hobbes' Leviathan at the top left. 7y
Leniverse At least I think that's what it says. ? And then, in the middle, there's "Essays". That could be almost anyone. ? My hands are itching now. 7y
Moray_Reads @Leniverse lots of Hobbes, lots of Locke Vs. Bishop of Worchester, Meryton, Good. I catalogued them but I haven't even heard of most of them! 😂 7y
rubyslippersreads @LeahBergen I think you mean pet them. 😂 7y
Leniverse Meryton? That's Pride and Prejudice. 😂 7y
Moray_Reads @Leniverse I wish! We do have a Pride and Prejudice first edition... 7y
Leniverse *whimper* Too much, Moray! 7y
Moray_Reads @Leniverse sorry. At least I can't tempt you with pictures of that. I don't have keys to that safe 😢 7y
mjdowens It is so nice that they have been kept in such good shape 7y

Flowers for Plato. 🌺 Although I am a college student, reading about philosophers/philosophy is officially now one of my guilty pleasures. It's so exciting questioning your own existence. Makes for great conversation. Philosophy 101 has piqued my interest! #philosophy101
