review 1: Concise, Accessible, Awesome. But I was/will always be a Philosophy student, so this is pleasure reading, as much as seeking truth is pleasurable. Guess it depends on the decisions we make. Reading this has propelled me back toward a mode of thought that has typically been foundational and freeing for this guy. For the non-philosophically minded, it could take a bit more work. And I hope folks do take the time to work through it, as the effort will reward them with a powerful set of intellectual tools and a clear perception of how we have tried to interact with our world in an accurate, meaningful way.
review 2: Ferry assigned himself a noble task in writing this book: "to give an account of everything I consider to be indispensable in the history of thought -... more all that I would like to pass on to family and those whom I regard as friends". He offers a lot of clarity on various ideas and you don't get the impression he is dumbing things down just to say them more simply. He certainly makes the effort to explain various philosophies objectively and fairly and without rancour, even those he does not accept. One of his most memorable statements for me came towards the end when he wrote: "I find the Christian proposition infinitely more tempting - except for the fact that I do not believe in it. But were it to be true I would certainly be a taker." less
