A Little History of Philosophy

The author mentions a lot of philosophers, from Socrates to Piter Singer. Each chapter is four or five pagese long. So you can read one chapter easily within a few minutes. Of course, the length of the book is too short to cover such a long history of philosophy and a few philosophers are unfortunately omitted such as Husserl and Heiddegar. But on the whole I'm content with the book. Any way what I like most in this book is that it deals with contemporary philosophers like Peter Singer. It'll be helpful when I read and understand his thoughts!

Wonderful Book explaining very difficult concepts in a simple way

Very interesting reading.

This book is easy to interpret and understand, it is clear and concise. I couldn't stop reading for hours, and I plan to pass it round. How straight-forward and clear the ideas have been put, as I said, reflects what these philosophers have demonstrated. It respects the philosophers, in my opinion, because it's relatable, really widens your eyes and makes even the most complex ideas easier to interpret. The writing flows well, and passion for the topic is so evident, which makes it even more interpolating. Would absolutely recommend, thoroughly enjoyed reading and learning.

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.
