Philosophy for Beginners

Simplifying philosophy's evolution and essential questions.

Philosophy can be daunting, but "Philosophy For Beginners" is your accessible gateway to the discipline's rich history. Richard Osborne has a knack for distilling complex theories and age-old questions into digestible bits, paving your way from the musings of ancient Greeks to contemporary thought. If you've ever wanted to understand the fundamental ideas that shape our world and ourselves without getting lost in academic jargon, this book could be your perfect starting point.

Description

Why does philosophy give some people a headache, others a real buzz, and yet others a feeling that it is subversive and dangerous? Why do a lot of people think philosophy is totally irrelevant? What is philosophy anyway? The ABCs of philosophy - easy to understand but never simplistic. Beginning with basic questions posed by the ancient Greeks - What is the world made of? What is a man? What is knowledge? What is good and evil? - Philosophy for Beginners traces the development of these questions as the key to understanding how Western philosophy developed over the last 2,500 years.
