Philosophy: 50 Ideas in 500 Words unravels its most central
concepts through five tightly focused chapters. From metaphysics to
modern economic theories, from groundbreaking advances inspired in
psychology to its relationship with postmodernist theory, this book
examines the greatest ide as from the greatest thinkers humankind
has ever known. Arguments on topics as diverse as the rights of man
and the origins of the species, and the existence of God and the
concept of the Ego, are considered in this book, which combines
history with contemporary culture in a celebration of the most
important thoughts on "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness".
Because the book is presented chronologically, readers can gain a
distinct sense of the historical development of philosophy, with
features on everything from epistemology and metaphysics to
feminism, psychoanalysis and postmodernism.
