### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    You're gonna learn something from this one
  

*by T***C on Reviewed in the United States on October 1, 2012*

Others have described the contents of the book quite well. I was impressed by how the author nicely grouped the fifty ideas into the basic themes of philosophy. He only devotes four pages to each idea, but packs each one with much profundity. Sidelight information is boxed off as footnotes which can be distracting, and I'd suggest reading straight through the article and then read the boxed-off footnotes afterwards. Mr. Dupre discusses relevant and fascinating real life aspects of the ideas which the reader will not encounter in any other basic primer. For example, he discusses in idea 50 the "Lifeboat Earth" concept and in one section contrasts it with "Spaceship Earth". What a thought provoking article!Since Ben Dupre's background includes publishing children's literature, I suppose he understands the importance of using concrete examples profusely throughout the book which is beneficial regardless of the age of the intended readership. Unlike many philosophical authors, he has the superb ability to move up or down the ladder of abstraction to enlighten the reader. It's my opinion that this book might qualify as a college level intro text and the fifty ideas would launch many spirited discussions, Each chapter is each of the 50 ideas and could be read independently of each other, but I read through the book from beginning to end.I especially like how Mr. Dupre makes frequent reference to related thoughts discussed in different chapters instead "atomizing" each idea as independent to each other. In other words he doesn't forget or ignore related ideas but instead builds upon previously discussed concepts and examples for the reader. The book is delightfully different from other treatments of philosophy.

    A bit of bias but overall a good book
  

*by L***Z on Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2020*

Great book! Very fun read and insightful. A few of the chapters are sloppy and the authors bias can clearly show. Certain philosophical concepts and written lazily and with weak arguments to support it, likely due to the authors bias. It’s disappointing because as a professional he had a job to do and he dropped the ball on a few chapters. But aside from that, the majority of it was written very well. Easy to follow. One of the best books in this series.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Both an introduction and a complex distillation
  

*by D***. on Reviewed in the United States on November 16, 2022*

Dupré’s 50 Philosophy Ideas was amongst my initial forays into philosophical space that started in my 50’s.  I got immediately bogged down in confusion with wonderings of definitions, biographies and the history of western philosophy. After a few years of off and on philosophy education in the digital world, and now in my 60’s, I felt more confident in reading this book again. I see this book now as a great pulling together of important philosophical thought. It gets to the main goal of the philosophy in that it does not answer questions as much as improve the understandings of simplifying questions.
