Great for pre-teens and early teens (and their moms)
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
I bought this book a few years ago on a whim thinking it would be great if my kids read it. Lately, my 12 year old son picked it up off the shelf, started reading it and can't stop reading it (again). It gives a broad introduction to key ideas and questions in philosophy without the boring names and dates. Older teens who want to know what Arisototle said or how he differed from Plato can and should read other books. This book is great for younger teens and preteens who don't yet know what philosophy is. It will get them excited and give them a good idea of what its all about. I enjoy reading it too, it is well written and humorous.
Philosphy without the Boredom
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
I found this book and its sequel "The Outer Limits" to be a really good introduction and discussion about the issues that Philosphy deals with. Even if you've never heard of Plato or Kant, you can still understand the issues presented in this book. I've just recommended it to a MATRIX Forum because it deals with Virtual Reality as well.Good stuff.
