Philosophy: 100 Essential Thinkers Paperback – Import, 15 September 2005

Very extensive coverage of topic albeit in summary. Worth th time and money. Need to follow up on a vast choice of reading options.

This one is one of the best introductory book i have invested in. This book is history of philosophy in itself. Merit of the author lies in the fact that he didn't get into the biographical details of the thinkers but summarised their thoughts in lucid essays. Reading this book was like journeying along course of time from the presocratics to the postmordernists and linguists. For a reader from east this books opens up to me a window on western outlook to the world.

Excellent starting point

It gives a brief overview of different philosophical systems.

Good book for beginners to know about the major thinkers and their theories.

Very good book.

An excellent book written lucidly for beginners of philosophy.

Well arranged in ideological order. Very short.

Lots of information, broken down into easy to follow sections, easy to understand and learn from and very interesting material for anyone interested in philosophy.Chapters are not too brief and detailed enough to understand the background of philosophers and their main well known concepts without going down a rabbit hole.

Excelente resumen para recordar postulados filosóficos básicos

100 pensadores num livro já é uma tarefa teoricamente impossível. Mas, vale o esforço do autor de manter sempre uma narrativa evolutiva de questionamento filosófico na qual adota nuances ideológicas e religiosas interessantes.

Excellent overview of main philosophies and interesting background information on philosophers. Well written and informative as an introduction to philosophical thought.

Como mera introducción a la filosofía, sin más pretensiones, de lo mejor que he encontrado y por un precio ridículo.
