Product Description
Synopsis
Which philosopher threw himself head first into a volcano to prove he was a god? Who formed a secret society and banned its members from eating beans? Is it true that one philosopher operated on his friend's liver and fitted it with a silver tap? Which philosopher insisted that his students sit in deckchairs? Why did another have to have a special niche cut into his table? Who was cut to pieces by sharpened seashells? These are just a few of the intriguing facts you will discover about philosophers in this fascinating book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A clear-sighted view of important philosophers, 19 Nov 2000
By A Customer
Do not be put off this book by its title 'A Young Person's Guide To Philosophy', as a forty something year old I stumbled across this little gem, and was absolutely captivated. It is a beautifully produced hardback, with clear illustrations, and bold type. Dusty Greek names come alive with small phrases and incidents that are very memorable. The book leads you through the years to the contemporary philosophers. For those of us with little time, and a small knowledge of the major figures it was brilliant, a great starting point.
