Publisher's Summary

This lively and engaging audiobook is the ideal introduction for anyone who has ever been puzzled by what philosophy is or what it is for. Edward Craig argues that philosophy is not an activity born from another planet; learning about it is just a matter of broadening and deepening what most of us do already. He shows that philosophy is no mere intellectual pastime: Thinkers such as Plato, Buddhist writers, Descartes, Hobbes, Hume, Hegel, Mill, and de Beauvoir were responding to real needs and events, much of their work shapes our lives today and many of their concerns are still ours.

Great Intro

EngagIng. Great overview of some of the main characters and philosophical viewpoints through the ages. Would have liked a bit more on Asian philosophers but it seemed that was not his area of expertise. Would definitely recommend this to someone who wants to learn more about philosophy but isn’t quite sure where to start
