### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Great, but...
  

*by N***M on Reviewed in the United States on November 26, 2007*

Anyone interested in philosophy should read this book. It is very interesting and very hard to put down. However, the main factor that makes this book unique has a negative effect, and hence the four stars. The book is basically a dialogue between Magee and other philosophers. This is a very interesting approach and the result was a great book. The problem is that I don't think that the best way to introduce philosophy is to have two philosophers talk about it. Magee always tries to clarify things when he feels that the discussion is getting a bit too complicated and succeeds most of the time, but some times this didn't pay off. I found the chapters concerning the philosophers that I had a little background information of much easier than those concerning philosophers that I knew nothing of. I know that this is logical, but in a book that is meant to be an introduction, the novice reader should find it easy to read about what he/she does not know. Apart from this little difficulty, the book is an amazing one. Magee is a great host and his guests are extremely knowledgeable about their subjects. The most important thing is that this book covered most great philosophers as the title promises.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Very readable philosophy book
  

*by L***I on Reviewed in the United States on March 3, 2006*

I highly recommend this book to anyone that ever wonder what philosophy is about but couldn't get pass the first sentence on other philosophy books. You will get a better understanding of the ideas of the most influential western philosophers from Socrates all the way to the 20th century. I reread it from time to time to refresh my understanding of the topic. And is never boring. A very special book to have in your library.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    I loved this book
  

*by P***E on Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 2015*

I have a non-professional interest in philosophy. I loved this book. It provides a short and clear introduction to a dozen major philosophers. Magee loves his subject and is a great explainer. Highly recommended.
