[Muhammad Yusra · Rating 5 out of 5]

this book introduced to me the discipline of philosophy well.

[DS · Rating 5 out of 5]

A a comprehensive and utterly concise description of the history of philosophy, and many of the popular figures within this domain.

[Tan Jing · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is like a textbook which eases understanding. However, it has errors- both grammar and content.

On the whole, it gets more interesting as u read it- from metaphysics to epistemology to ethics to political philosophy. Reading philosophy books are similar to reading history books XD the last part piqued my interest in history- French Revolutions etc. (regret not taking history but it's okay I can learn on my own :D)

Yay merry Christmas!

P.S. The Toh tuck road popular book buffet has so many ppl (more than or equal to 100ppl :o) and I chose 3 books and to my horror, the queue was so long so I went home empty-handed)
