A fantastic overview of the history of philosophy! The collection of short profiles of various philosophers contains profiles of philosophers that I was very familiar with ( Socrates, Kant, etc) as well as ones I had never heard of. Well written, neatly condensed and simply presented- this book has me itching to dive deep into some original source texts. Highly recommend! 5/5
A ripper of a book. Really enjoyed it. Will have to listen. Couple of times before I feel like I know any of the stuff he is talking about, but a really accessible intro to many famous philosophers. Names I know, but not much more than that! Highly recommended.
Learning me some philosophy this weekend...
I listened to this as an audiobook with a perfect narrator. This book is concisely written and funny! There are forty chapters, each covering a philosopher or two and including fun life facts, main contributions, and plenty of concrete illustrations of philosophical concepts. A light, fairly easy introduction to philosophy, with just enough names and titles for you to explore more on your own! #nonfiction #philosophy #readathon
Just finished my second #readathon book! Also realized I've only read nonfiction so far. That will probably change soon! #audiobooks #audiostitching #litsystitchers
Working on my next #readathon pick. Less than two hours left in this listen! #audiobooks #audiostitching #litsystitchers
This continues to be a delightful, light read that's peaking my interest in specific philosophers to explore further. A perfectly accessible intro to the often inaccessible world of philosophy! #philosophy #audiobooks
I started listening to this while doing needlepoint, as a bit of a break from schoolwork, and it was hard to tear myself away! It's concise, funny, well-written, and has an excellent narrator! #philosophy #audiobooks
Nothing gets the gears in the mind rolling like philosophy ❤️📚📖
TR: A refreshingly accessible book, which doesn‘t use a hundred words when five will do and wherever possible, steers clear of that language so jealously guarded by not only philosophers but by all who attempt to make their crust-earning exploits ‘mysterious‘.
