About This Book

Do philosophers really make life more complicated than it needs to be? From Berkeley's falling tree to Heraclitus declaring everything in flux, philosophy can seem daunting — but it doesn't have to be. I Think, Therefore I Am is the ideal way to take the fear out of philosophy.

Written in an accessible and highly entertaining style, this book explains how and why philosophy began, and how — from Greek democracy to Communism — the ways we live, learn, argue, vote, and spend our money all have roots in philosophical thought. Covering the biggest names including Socrates, Seneca, St Augustine, Descartes, Marx, and Nietzsche, it provides a clear handle on all the major -isms and -ologies.

Part of the popular I Used to Know That series, this is the perfect entry point for curious minds who want to understand the ideas that shaped the world — without the academic headache.

Why This Book Is Perfect For You
