Description

In this vivid and incisive guide, philosophy comes to life.

Using the central idea of causality as a guiding principle, Brendan Wilson shows how the history of philosophy becomes a very clear and natural sequence of events.

The resulting perspective reveals the deep connections between the problems of science, mind and reality, freedom and responsibility, knowledge, language, truth and religion.

Newcomers to philosophy will be able to engage with the great questions and ideas of the western tradition.

The writing is clear and jargon-free, while the 'short-chapter' format gives the reader time to pause and think at each step along the way.

Style and layout put accessibility first and the many illustrations include explanatory diagrams and drawings as well as pictures of philosophers from Aristotle to Wittgenstein.
