Philosophy can be easy, fun and exciting… when told by the enlightened Nigel Warburton.
It will take you through the chronological path of the main ideas in the history of philosophy. There are 40 stops along the way — 40 short sections. You will learn the art of asking Socratic questions, subjecting thoughts to skepticism like Pyrrho, understanding Kant, and discerning the shades of rose-colored lenses through which we view the world. You will also learn about the views of Kierkegaard and Darwin, Camus and Marx, or how Nietzsche's works were "approved" by the Third Reich, and Alan Turing invented a test for artificial intelligence.
And all this is written in simple language, with examples and stories.
For a wide range of readers. For those who want to get acquainted with philosophy from ancient times to today.
The book will entertain, fill the gaps in knowledge, and also inspire you to think, argue, question and ask a lot of questions.
