review 1: Great book on Philosophy, covers all major and minor philosophies and philosophersfrom around the world in a mostly easy to understand and easy and fun to read formatand the book is well written and by several different authors. The books starts out with Ancient Greece and philosophers such as Plato, Socrates, Aristotle, several Chinese philosophers and philosophies including Buddha and Buddhism and covers philosophy up until the present, the 21st century. All in all, a great book.
review 2: With over 2000 years of history, no book could seek to cover each and every aspect of philosophical thought.What this does, instead, is to give a broad overview of the main works of the main thinkers (SOcrates, Plato, Descartes, Karl Marx, etc) of any particular era, with t... morehe book itself split into 6 main sections, as follows:1) The Ancient World (700 BCE - 250 CE)2) The Medieval World (250 - 1500)3) Renaissance and the Age of Reason (1500 - 1750)4) The Age of Revolution (1750 - 1900)5) The Modern World (1900 -1950)6) Contemporary Philosophy (1950 - present)Nicely illustrated throughout, and with a little bit of history on the thinker themselves, this is a good intro for anybody interested in the subject. (Speaking personally, the closer the philosophy got to contemporary years, the less interesting I found it - I was more interested in the likes of Plato, Socrates and Descartes, for instance, than in Jacques Derrida). less
