Some reviews of the SCM Briefly Series 'The painless way to become
well read...Daniel shows himself to be a sure-footed guide, with an
obvious gift for presenting complex ideas clearly and concisely.'
Church Times 'This series provides a very useful and
student-friendly stepping stone between secondary and primary
texts...Apart from the obvious student market, many general readers
will welcome such useful introductions to some of the great names
of Christian history.' Journal of Education and Christian Belief
'The Briefly series aims to help students wrap their minds around
original texts without sacrificing either the subtlety or
completeness of the arguments therein.' Reviews in Religion and
Theology Philosophy is for everyone Briefly: 25 Great Philosophers
from Plato to Sartre outlines the lives of 25 of the Great
Philosophers from the western tradition, including Plato,
Aristotle, Hobbes, Descartes, Locke, Hume, Kant, Mill, Russell and
Sartre, and explores some of their key ideas - ideas which have had
a major impact on the development of western thought and society.
As well as highlighting contrasting approaches to philosophical
questions, different treatments of particular issues, and areas
where the thinking of one philosopher has influenced the ideas of
others, this book reflects its authors' strongly-held belief that
philosophy is for everyone, not only those who study it at
university. Each chapter has a context section, which looks at
those aspects of the philosopher's thinking that shed light on the
key ideas; a short biography; discussion of the key ideas; an
impact section summing up their influence; and suggestions for
further reading, including internet resources. A glossary of
philosophers and thinkers gives brief information about other
philosophers and thinkers referred to in the book, while the
glossary of terms briefly defines specialist philosophical and
other terms. There is also an index. If you find this book's
contents thought-provoking and horizon-expanding, do not stop here.
