## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Quick Education & Reference Resource
*by D***N on February 9, 2024*

I've been disappointed with most books of this kind, but not with this one. The book begins with the ancient Greek philosophers, and runs to modern day, providing a summarization of each philosopher's personal life, contributions to philosophical thought, influences, etc., providing just the right amount of information without losing the reader in the weeds. I'm learning a lot from this book.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hands down the best book I've found on the subject
*by R***L on October 27, 2010*

The Story of Philosophy is a facinating and highly informative introduction to the history of western philosophy.It is a book that would be fun to read either from start to finish or just skipping around. It is written in a waythat is understandable to readers new to the subject, while not being dumbed down. The book is visually appealing with manyphotographs and illustrations, along with sidebars on nearly every page introducing the reader to subjects relating to the main text. My only complaint is that I think the title should be "The Story of Western Philosophy", because it only lightly covers eastern and arabic philosophy, which is rather odd considering that my copy promonently features the Buddha on the cover. However, it does provide a helpful "For further reading" section that includes works on those subjects. Altogether, this is an excellent book that I am glad to add to my library. I also recommend as a good companion to this book DK's "World Religions" by John Bowker.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An excellent introduction and a beautifully done book!
*by M***C on October 8, 2011*

This is a very readable although fairly short illustrated history of philosophy, by an extremely knowledgeable author. This s great book to read if you just want an overview of the history of philosophy as well as brief explanations of most of the schools of thought. Magee has written many works on philosophy and has created a couple of BBC series on philosophy. His writing style is very clear and he makes extremely interesting points about the different philosophers and about philosophy in general. There are many digressions and sidebars throughout the book that consider various philosphical points in a very brief manner (for example, "Can the existence of God be proved?", "The power of ideas", and "The Einsteinian revolution"). The book itself - like most Dorling-Kindersley (DK) books I've seen - is extremely well done, a beautiful book that invites browsing.
