## Description

A Little History of Philosophy [Warburton, Nigel] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. A Little History of Philosophy

Review: An accessible introduction - A Little History of Philosophy offers a well-paced and accessible introduction to key philosophers and their ideas. Nigel Warburton presents complex concepts clearly and engagingly, making this an excellent book for anyone curious about philosophy, whether new to the subject or looking for a refresher. Each chapter focuses on a different thinker, giving just enough context and explanation to understand their main contributions without getting bogged down in jargon. The writing is concise but never dull, and the historical flow helps show how these ideas built upon one another over time. Highly recommended for readers who want to better understand the big questions that have shaped human thought.
Review: Great intro. Very entertaining. Slightly biased - The book is great, very entertaining. Short chapters make it easily digestible and the examples and analogies are clear for anyone to understand. It gives you a good overview of each philosopher without going into too much detail (which is kind of the point). The only reason I don't give it 5 stars is because sometimes the author's personal opinions can be seen throughout the book in a way that slightly taints what the philosopher tries to express. It would be better if he were completely impartial and just stuck to what each philosopher thinks.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Western philosophy that is readable and concise
*by R***D on April 5, 2013*

This book provides a concise and illuminating history of philosophy. It is a sort of super Cliff Note, in that its 40 chapters cover 46 philosophers (Kant has two chapters) from Socrates to Peter Singer, and they are linked together over time. My own demographic is that of a retired but still curious civil servant who is still trying to catch up on the great span of my own life and learning. My only philosophy course at Yale was taught by the renowned Professor Rorty, and it was incomprehensible to me at the time. This book clarifies and organizes the course of western philosophy from its beginnings in readable chapters. The author is very articulate and even handed. Every one of these thinkers was controversial in their times, and the author notes and balances their thoughts with competing thoughts and shows how they were linked to each other and to the history of their respective times. I give copies of this book to friends, one of whom remarked that it would help him with his cocktail conversation for all time. This is true, but the book is much better than that!
