Simply Philosophy

Philosophy arrives as a list of names for most readers. This guide turns the list into an argument that develops across centuries. Simply Philosophy traces thought from Plato and Aristotle through to Nietzsche, Sartre and the modern schools, grouping ideas by question as well as by period. Metaphysics, ethics, logic, political theory and theories of knowledge each receive concise treatment with timelines and diagrams, and the summaries stay short enough to revisit before an examination or a conversation that got ambitious. What the book offers: • Major thinkers placed in order and in context • Branches of philosophy separated and explained one at a time • Timelines and visual summaries running alongside the text • Definitions for the terms that most often trip up newcomers Suited to students, teachers and general readers wanting a reliable overview.
