our universe and have created compelling new ways of
thinking. In this beautifully illustrated book, Michael
Moore introduces you to the fascinating world of
philosophy and its greatest practitioners. Ranging from
epistemology to existentialism and featuring ideas from
philosophersas varied as Plato, Immanuel Kant, and Søren
Kierkegaard, this essential guide will bring you up to
speed on the core themes and theories of this great
subject,"--page [4] of cover.
