Little History Of

These were the concerns of Socrates who spent his days in the ancient Athenian marketplace asking awkward questions disconcerting the people he met by showing them how little they genuinely understood.

In forty brief chapters Nigel Warburton guides us on a chronological tour of the major ideas in the history of philosophy.
