Read for international philosophy Olympiad
I didn't read the entire thing, only what was interesting to me. So I read the theology, ethics, politics, and a bit of metaphysics and epistemology parts. Excellent, truly recommend. The author uses parts from the philosopher's quotes yet explains them so well. It's a great introduction.
What I'm taking with me
• Pascal is a totally babe, a wonderful writer and his wager is genius.
• Nietzsche unfortunately was a sexist. This is so disappointing and really lowers my opinion of him.
• Descartes was cute but so very mistaken.
• I feel like Hume was a party pooper.
• Pragmatism is life.
