天下為公天下為公: The book is amazing as I expected. The speed of delivery is fine. The protection of the book is awful. I buy a new book! Maybe I cannot receive a perfect one, but this is unacceptable. The back of the book has a pretty big irretrievable fold in the upper left-hand corner.

Rosie: I found this book very helpful in guiding me through this new subject. With timelines and snippets of information. Easy to read for a dyslexic.

Iveth Romero: I was getting into philosophy but didn’t really know what books to start reading or much on the topic.

rachel evansrachel evans: While I won’t recommend this book to someone looking for an in-depth understanding on philosophical concepts, I do love the books ability to cover general concepts. I'm a philosophy nerd so I'm just starting to understand some of these and thus book is a great place to start. 4/5, definitely recommend to beginners

DeeJayDeeJay: I will begin by saying I am completely new to the world of philosophy. I purchased this book along with Philosophy 101 by Paul Kleinman which I highly recommend. Ok where do I even start? This "book", if you can call such an amazing work of art that, is absolutely stellar and I am proud to own it (FYI I got the hardcover version which you should too). This is not a traditional book in the sense of needing to read the text in chronological order. The introduction is only about 8 pages long and rest of the book is comprised of short bios of famous philosophers, explaining who they were, and their philosophies.

You could certainly read the book in chronological order, but I consider it to be something more of a reference book with greater flexibility in how you utilize it. You can flip to a random page and read about a staggeringly amazing human being or you can seek out specific philosophers/areas of interest.

Joshua Young: Although I can’t speak to the nature of the e-book on any device, The Philosophy Book: Big Ideas Simply Explained is a very entertaining introduction to various historically significant philosophical minds. It includes images as well as a light amount of biographical information which is important for gathering the context through which these people were developing their thoughts. The intention of the book is be an overview of an entire subject since its inception in ancient times, so personally I find it difficult to fault for being brief considering how much content it aims to tackle. The segregation of time from section to section is fine given, once again, what a large time-span the book seeks to cover. In addition, this book is tailored to be appealing to youths who probably aren’t yet enabled to take a formalized philosophy course so there’s little cause to make it hyper-informative of individuals or get into the weeds of specific time periods. It is not a history book after all. If someone wants to learn more about a specific philosopher’s ideas this book provides a litany of paths to go down and without a publishing like this, it’s hard to have a significant...
