Philosophy instructor here... This is one of my favorite books to recommend to people who have little exposure to philosophy. And for those whom I have recommend it to, they seemed to really enjoy it. Is it totally comprehensive? No, but finding a comprehensive non-internet source of philosophy is impossible. It does a really great job of presenting many of the greatest philosophical ideas in an accessible and non-intimidating kind of way. That said, this isn't a book for school kids, as someone else mentioned. Advanced high schoolers or very advanced middle schoolers might find it interesting, but many of the concepts will still be difficult to grasp (Hegel, Heidegger etc). I think it works best as a book that an intellectually curious person can skim through, find ideas and thinkers that intrigue them, and then go off to other places (Wikipedia or the source material) to dig deeper.

Thanks. Good reviews as a very good general overview of the major areas of philosophy. Going to the product page made me realize I had promo credits that were going to expire next week, so this was a nice pickup.

It's a real shame they can't make these ebooks look as good as the print copies. The value is significantly lower than the print book.

I have the physical copy of the Physics one and it's excellent. Got me into exploring more scientific topics, to me this series is well worth a pickup.

Thanks OP, grabbing Philosophy too.
