<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>From Aristotle to Wittgenstein, <i>50 Philosophy Classics</i> provides a lively entry point to "The King of Disciplines," helping readers comprehend key questions - and possible answers - at the center of human existence.</b></br></br>For over 2,000 years, philosophy has been our best guide to the experience of being human, and the true nature of reality. <p/>From Aristotle, Plato, Epicurus, Confucius, Cicero and Heraclitus in ancient times to 17th century rationalists Descartes, Leibniz and Spinoza, from 20th-century greats Jean-Paul Sartre, Jean Baudrillard and Simone de Beauvoir to contemporary thinkers Michael Sandel, Peter Singer and Slavoj Zizek, <i>50 Philosophy Classics</i> explores key writings that have shaped the discipline and had an impact on the real world. <p/>Philosophy can no longer be confined to academia, and <i>50 Philosophy Classics</i> shows how powerful it can be as a tool for opening our minds and helping us think. Whether you are fascinated or daunted by the big questions of how to think, how to be, how to act and how to see, this is the perfect introduction to some of humanity's greatest minds and their landmark books.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>This book explains and discusses briefly, but with remarkable lucidity, some of the ideas of fifty philosophical thinkers from ancient times to the present-day. Complex views on a whole range of important and enduring issues are made accessible to the general reader. A sympathetic account is given of each thinker and his or her thoughts, conveying the insights and capturing some of the excitement of seeing the world and human life from novel, distinctive, or unusual perspectives.
