REVIEW
4 out of 5
A brilliant introduction to western philosophy. If you’re new to philosophy, this book gives you a quick run down of the big thinkers among European philosophers, and will help you choose whom you’d like to read more from. It doesn’t go super in depth on anyone, but you can get a good feel for each based on what’s shared. If you’re looking for a little less on whom and more of the concepts, the second part of the book is what you’re looking for. This brings in the different stances of multiple philosophers mentioned in part one to try and answer the big questions such as morality and free will. A great starter book!
