Reviews

[Cansu]

An absolute must-read for those who are newly interested in learning philosophy and do not know where to start.

[Tim]

Most likely the best book that I have ever had the pleasure of reading. Comprehensive and illuminating.

I am giving one star for this book...a difficult reading. Materials are badly organized.
