Synopsis

Designed to make philosophy feel approachable, this book introduces key thinkers alongside the ideas they are known for, using easy-to-follow visuals, well-chosen quotations and straightforward explanations. Chapters are arranged in chronological order, with cross-references that connect earlier and later thinkers and concepts.

Alongside major schools of thought, it also touches on more niche areas, ranging from moral ethics to philosophies of religion, helping to clarify abstract concepts and complex theories. Suitable for complete beginners with a general interest in how social, political and ethical ideas are formed, as well as students of philosophy and politics.
