A Little History of Philosophy Paperback – 15 October 2012

I love this philosophy book. My buddy and I got it to guide us in some armchair philosophy conversations. We're familiar with most of the people in here, and this just gives us some additional insight and reminders of the big items so we can better discuss them. It's well written and well organized. Incredibly easy to just pick up and flow through some of the philosophers.

O livro é excelente! O autor faz pequenos textos explicando quem eram e como pensavam os grandes filósofos do ocidente. Sócrates, Kant, Marx e Freud são exemplos de filósofos tratado no livro.O texto é muito bem escrito. Sempre com com bom humor e fazendo a conexão entre as ideias e o que ocorria no momento histórico. Fazia tempo que eu não lia um livro tão bom.

Muy lindas ediciones, fáciles de cargar, lindo contenido!

I needed an introduction to philosophy with very basic knowledge and this was the perfect book for it! Warburton did an amazing job at summarizing the most important ideas of each of the 40 authors he tackles with. His approach is really simple as if he was talking to a friend with a little touch of humor so it makes it easy to read. But as it was so well written and enjoyable, i wish there was more to it! If the chapters were a little bit longer and more developped that would be great. I guess I just need to do my own research now that i finished the book.

Just got yhe book and started reading the first chapter so can't comment much. However it looks like it's going to be an interesting read - recommended by a good friend. Succinct, includes many philosophers and follows what looks like a chronological order...
