Because of their brevity, the sketches are briskly and crisply done, but manage to preserve a high level of accuracy and completeness. Their usefulness lies in the ready information which they offer to the quick or curious inquirer. This is a valuable little tome; there is no better short reference work of its kind available.

Sunday Times

The Philosophers introduces some of the most brilliant minds in history and shows the enduring fascination of their ideas, which shaped our civilization. An illustrious team of authors offer concise and illuminating tours through the lives and thought of the twenty-eight greatest Western philosophers, from Socrates to Sartre. Each chapter is illustrated with a portrait of its subject, guidance is given to further reading, and a chronological table fills in the historical context. This is the ideal way for any reader to learn about these famous thinkers.
