The 100 Essential Thinkers of Philosophy

Philosophy isn't just for specialists, but an intrinsic and indispensable part of a person's navigation through life. For many, philosophy is a complex and difficult subject to understand. However, with the release of Philip Stokes' book, this impression will certainly change. The 100 Essential Thinkers of Philosophy presents, through text and illustrations, a thorough analysis of those considered the greatest intellectuals of all time. Easy to consult, this is a must-have for any library that aspires to be respected and admired. The work, the ninth volume of the 100+ series, is the result of years of research. Stokes begins his analysis with the pre-Socratics and Academicians, moving on to the Stoics and Scholastics, arriving at the rationalists, the liberals, and, finally, the new scientists. The thinkers discussed in this book represent the ideas of more than twenty different schools. It's no wonder that The 100 Essential Thinkers of Philosophy has received so many positive reviews online, including from Amazon readers. Excellent for both novices, students, and the curious, as well as for the more erudite, teachers, and specialists. Some of the thinkers featured in the work are: John Locke, Arthur Schopenhauer, Heraclitus, Zeno of Elea, Epicurus, René Descartes, Charles Darwin, Friedrich Nietzsche, Noam Chomsky, and Émile Durkheim. A unique work: simple, concise, informative, and fully illustrated. "A fascinating foray into the cerebral world of essential thinkers." (The Boox Review) "A reference book the reader will want to refer to again and again." (Carol Raker Collins, Ph.D.) "Philip Stokes has a perfect approach to his material: he takes it seriously, but the result is intellectually entertaining." (Daniel Levinson)
