520    Thousands of years ago, ancient philosophers asked some 
       important questions: "What is real?", "What is the point 
       of my existence?", "Why is there evil in the world?", and 
       "What can I know?" These questions have gone on to spark 
       passionate debates about our existence and how we 
       understand the world around us. In this engaging and 
       accessible introduction to philosophy, readers aged 11+ 
       will be introduced to a variety of philosophical ideas 
       through the teachings of Plato, Confucius, Simone de 
       Beauvoir, and many more.  Vibrant, reader-friendly 
       illustrations bring the history of ideas and thinking to 
       life, and provide topics for reflection and debate. With 
       biographies of the most influential philosophers from 
       around the world, young readers will explore the questions
       that have been fundamental to the development of 
       scientific study, logical thinking, religious beliefs, 
       freedom in society, and much more. Thought experiments 
       peppered throughout will help to connect readers with the 
       theories presented so they can apply them to their own 
       lives.
