Great Introduction to Philosophy

My 11-year-old devoured this book, carries it everywhere, and discusses it with her siblings and friends. The book is accessible and beautifully illustrated, but also covers a range of topics, from broad philosophical worldviews to ethics and aesthetics. Each chapter also includes philosophical questions for kids to ponder. Unlike other philosophy books that I looked at, this one takes a more secular approach and covers more contemporary topics.

Great read

Good introductory book (with pictures) to philosophy, a subject infamous for its lack of illustrations. If you've ever wanted to learn some foundational concepts in philosophy but been put off by the dry, black and white textbooks, this book is garenteed to keep your attention longer than those!

Excellent illustrated introduction to philosophy

An excellent and attractively illustrated introduction to the basic principles and disciplines of philosophy. As an introduction, the book covers by necessity each major topic within philosophy at the highest level - politics, morality, God, etc. The most prominent philosophers for each topic are also given airtime, either with a multi-paragraph text about their thought, or bite size bullets expressing their opinions. These snippets will encourage the novice to further study each philosopher. The only slight downside is that some of the illustrations contain redundant material within themselves or redundant with the text of the section. A minor fau pax. The book is definitely worth getting to begin an immersion into the world of philosophy.

More a history book than a Philosophy book

For kids (if they are in college and like history). The book implies a progression / evolution in philosophy when many ideas and concepts are parallel or conflicting. The book describes people important in philosophy but not the environment they existed in. So no context. An example is the relationship between Socrates and his peers. Sparta conquered Athens in 404 bc, Sparten society was nothing like Athens Society. So Five years later Socrates was executed for corrupting youth that were supposed to be warriers, not thinkers, which makes sense. So Plato and Aristotle's teachings would be altered by their mentor being killed. So dates in history without context are meaningless trivia. This book has lots of names and dates. The book provides contextless history that wastes pages that should be spent discussing the relationship between concepts (philosophy).

Divagating treatment...

Not up to DK's usual standards, but helpful for those wanting a smattering survey of philosophical topics.
