Philosophy : An illustrated history of thought
100 ideas that changed history.
The thoughts and deeds of great thinkers always make great stories, and here we have one hundred all together. Each story relates a ponderable, a weighty problem that became a discovery that changed the way we see the world.
Knowledge does not arrive fully formed, it requires many minds to puzzle over the evidence, and, step by step, edge ever closer to the answers. This book tracks the history of philosophy, the field of enquiry that investigates the way humans think, the nature of good, beauty, and truth, and how we can know anything at all. Our story shows how philosophers have contiually overturned everyday perceptions: Socrates used simple conversation to show that all we can ever know is that we know nothing. Plato insisted that without philosphy, life can never be anything but an illusion, while Rene Descartes proved that he certainly existed but everything else was open to question.
