Description
Philosophers have always enjoyed asking awkward and
provocative questions, such as: What is the nature of
reality? What are human beings really like? What is
special about the human mind and consciousness? Are
we free to choose who we are and what we do? Can we
prove that God exists? Can we be certain about anything
at all? What is truth? Does language provide us with a
true picture of the world? How should we behave
towards each other? Do computers think?
Written by Dave Robinson and illustrated by Judy Groves,
Introducing Philosophy is a comprehensive graphic
guide to the thinking of all the significant philosophers of
the Western world from Heraclitus to Derrida. It examines
and explains their key arguments and ideas without
being obscure or solemn. Accessible and humorous, it is
the perfect introduction to philosophers and philosophical
ideas for anyone coming to the
subject for the first time.
