Una breve historia de la filosofía

Rate this book
¿Dónde encontrar la verdad? ¿En las ciencias, en las religiones, en las artes? ¿En la razón humana? ¿O en la palabra divina? Y esta verdad que buscamos ¿es única o múltiple? ¿Existe  de verdad o es una ilusión? Y si es una fábula, ¿a qué necesidad responde? Los filósofos siempre han dado vueltas a este tipo de preguntas porque sirven de hilo conductor a este viaje del pensamiento, desde Platón hasta nuestros días. Veinte episodios describen con claridad y amenidad estas aventuras de la verdad, en las que encontramos las figuras de Epicuro, Maquiavelo, Descartes, Espinoza, Voltaire, Rousseau, Kant, Marx y Nietzsche...

Highly recommended book to all those interested in philosophy but who don't know where to start. The author makes a point at being clear and accessible. All the difficult and complex concepts are explained and detailed in simple enough language. The book is intended as an introduction to philosophy for the non-initiated. Philosophers and their theories are dealt with in chronological order and each chapter is ended by a "What to read from this author first?" and a "Further reading" section which gives the reader the opportunity to go further.
This is definitely the book I needed to get back on track philosophy-wise!

Je viens de terminer ce très beau ouvrage. L'auteur parcoure l'histoire de la philosophie et explique de façon claire les concepts et idées des grands noms de la philosophie.
Je conseille ce livre à toute personne qui veut connaître l'univers de la philosophie.

The book spends more time developing the personal life and history of each philosopher rather than focusing on their ideas and contributions. While this approach can be interesting, it might not be the best choice for those looking for a deeper exploration of philosophical concepts.
