My favourite book
An awesome book, dont be fooled in thinking that it is a colourful and pictorial book ment for kids, it is not. It is an amazing book by some crazy awesome intellectuals for the intellectuals. It has a concise explaination of almost every philosophical idea known to humanity (the ones that matter), and also with art work in the book which make you stare at it and think, and then bring a smile on your face.

Love it!
Great content, beautiful illustrations, succinct explanations. I would recommend buying the physical book over the Kindle edition as the glossy pages and colourful pictures have their own charm. As for the content, there book summarizes the key work of some top philosophers spanning Eastern and Western philosophy, and covering from ancient and medival to the modern and contemporary world. I wish there was more representation of Indian philosophy in the book though, but that's a separate issue.

Great consulting/companion for a Philosophy student.
The Philosophy Book: Big Ideas Simply Explained I got this for a 3rd year Philosophy student. I don't think it has anything she hasn't studied already but it's a great quick reference companion. I has lots of charts and pictures, and I love charts. The new gen doesn't seem to have a non digital book culture like I did back in the day. Still I'm sure she'll put this one to good use. The quality of the book construction is also very good.

parfait pour les personnes curieuses mais qui n'ont pas le temps
très bien fait, simple à lire et à comprendre, surtout pour des personnes comme moi toujours pris par le temps (boulot et enfant) - et avec le confinement en ce moment je prend le temps de bien le lire, y compris la notice de ma TV.

I think therefore I read
A fascinating book to read through or delve into randomly. The chronological layout makes sense for readers new to the subject. The book presents the subject in a manner which has sufficient detail without making it heavy going and boggling the mind. Plenty of clear and illuminating diagrams augment the text. The lightly glossed paper has a quality feel and with the sturdy hardcover the book is good to hold and read. I buy most of my books on Kindle these days, but this is one of those which is definitely better to have in the hard copy.

Buen resumen de la historia de la Filosofía
Este libro es un buen compendio en inglés de la historia de la filosofía. Es sintético, claro y viene muy bien para tener una idea genérica de los principales pensadores occidentales y orientales también. No se necesita tener un nivel muy alto de inglés para entenderlo y tampoco de filosofía. Ideal para docentes y alumnos no universitarios y para toda aquella persona que esté interesada en tener un primer contacto con nuestra historia del pensamiento.

Good book, poor packaging
Book is great, looks appealing yet has a school / manual kind of feel. The book was to be a present but came bent. What is more, it squished the small box it was packed with so I had to restick seals and reinsert contents - that was a completely different order and meant for a different child. Box and book were not packed with foresight, either by seller or repacking facility. They both ended up smashed around corners and in an embarrassing state
