An innovative and accessible guide to more than 2,000 years of thought

Learn everything you need to know about the world of philosophy- from the key thinkers to modern concepts in a brand new portable size.

With the use of powerful and easy-to-follow images, famous quotations, and explanations that are easily understandable, this book cuts through any misunderstandings to demystify the subject.
