Description
Philosophy begins with questions about the nature of reality and how we should live. These were the concerns of Socrates, who spent his days in the ancient Athenian marketplace asking awkward questions, disconcerting the people he met by showing them how little they genuinely understood.
This engaging book introduces the great thinkers in Western philosophy and explores their most compelling ideas about the world and how best to live in it. In forty brief chapters, Nigel Warburton guides us on a chronological tour of the major ideas in the history of philosophy. He provides interesting and often quirky stories of the lives and deaths of thought-provoking philosophers from Socrates, who chose to die by hemlock poisoning rather than live on without the freedom to think for himself, to Peter Singer, who asks the disquieting philosophical and ethical questions that haunt our own times.
Warburton not only makes philosophy accessible, he offers inspiration to think, argue, reason, and ask in the tradition of Socrates. A Little History of Philosophy presents the grand sweep of humanity's search for philosophical understanding and invites all to join in the discussion.

One of the greatest audiobooks I have listened to
It's brief and it only touches the surface but its premise is to encourage you to get interested and go on reading more. It's a brilliant little book. The performance is fantastic too.

Good overview of the west
title should say little history of philosophy in the west. Not much mention of eastern philosophy even though some philosophers in the west based their ideas on the east.

excellent for the philosophers that were covered
This was an excellent distillation of the philosophy of a few prominent western philosophers, but as a brief history of philosophy it misses the mark as too many pivotal philosophers and their work are excluded, especially any relatively modern philosopher. Examples being: Foucault, Adam Smith, Derrida, Rand, etc. Of the philosophers covered, this audio book has some of the best explanations of philosophical positions I've ever heard, distilled down for the layman. Gets only 3 from me as this book felt incomplete.
