Uzun zamandır felsefe üzerine yoğunlaşmak istiyordum ama felsefenin genel hatlarını bilmediğim için sürekli erteliyordum. Bu kitapla birlikte önemli felsefecilerin çoğunu ve bu felsefecilerin çalışmalarını genel hatlarıyla öğrendim. Kitaplarını okumak istediğim filozofları da belirlemiş oldum. Felsefeye başlamak için güzel bir kitap olduğunu düşünüyorum. Kitabın adından dolayı çekinen varsa çekinmesine gerek yok kesinlikle sıkıcı bir kitap değil. Yazarın üslubu güzel ve güncel örnekler de vererek anlamamızı kolaylaştırıyor. no reviews | add a review

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. No library descriptions found. |

It is only barely an appropriate text for people who have no idea what philosophy even is. ( )
