Very beautiful layout, pictures and illustrations through the book.
Chapter 1 was very insightful with Bacon and Hume.
Chapter 2 was weak, Moore wrote a whole chapter on epistemology and did not mention Descartes or Kant?? This is the weakness of accounts of philosophy that privilege systematic issues over the history of philosophy. Some of his chapters are better than others in blending the history/story of philosophy with a systematic overview of the problems of philosophy.
Chapter 3: a pretty good chapter on metaphysics but how do you write a whole chapter on the history of metaphysics and do not mention of Hegel, Heidegger or Sartre??
