Each chapter, dedicated to a different philosopher, from the existentialist musings of Jean-Paul Sartre to the intricate post-structuralism of Michel Foucault, is crafted with such depth and clarity that it feels like a personal dialogue with these great minds. The book brilliantly interweaves the personal, the philosophical, and the historical, offering a rich tapestry of ideas that have sculpted our understanding of the world.

The opposing views and quotes section is particularly engaging, sparking curiosity and inviting readers to delve deeper into the world of philosophical debate. This book is a treasure for anyone wishing to understand not just the philosophies but the philosophers themselves, in a way that is both profound and accessible. It's a rare gem that doesn't just educate but also inspires introspection.

Philosophy has always been something that intrigued me, particularly in college but I didn't have the time. It was one of those things I wanted to learn about but easy to forget.

As I have grown, so did my interest and I do a lot of driving so I thought what a great time to dig back in. This was a great start to my journey. I really enjoyed learning about some of the most iconic thinkers and their ideas/concepts/thoughts. It was interesting to see some of their thoughts develop over time and how they are still relevant today.

This book was a fantastic introduction to some of of the great philosophers, not only does it have a bit of their autobiography and some of their major teachings I liked the 10 quotes to incorporate into your daily life section. This audiobook has inspired me to buy further works from the people mentioned, I've got Plato's republic and didn't realise how much I'd be down with Kant. I think the book is best listened to over a period of time, so you can listen about one philosopher try and incorporate something into your life and then move onto the next, all these in the mentioned from locke to sartre have definitly provided me with some insight into my own life.

A lovely taster to many of the greatest minds
