Philosophy For Dummies (For Dummies Series):
"I am a 60-year-old white male looking for a book to introduce me to philosophy. This is my first philosophy book. I thank the author for writing this book, but I would not recommend this book. It did not excite me to learn more about philosophy until"

Philosophy For Dummies (For Dummies Series):
" Basically, the author ignores all of his previous arguments in the last four chapters and concludes that all atheists are nihilists and you must believe in a Christian God (he mentions Christian religions, but no others) to lead a fulfilling life. R"

There’s no way to not be fascinated by the range and depth of Vollman’s investigations, if not always out of affinity for his topic, then always out of curiosity for what he discovers. In Vollman’s own words, the 700+ pages of this abridged version ( ...more |

| While it's a fact that Vollman writes some impressively thick books, the page count of this tome is deceptive in that actual text is a reasonable 294 pages. The remainder is an appendix of Sources, and 128 of his own photographs, bulking up the volum ...more | |

“Our reading was subversive, and we knew it...
I was now believing books more than I believed what I saw and heard...
