It gave an overview of the main thoughts of each philosopher, which was clearly explained, with the help of very easily understood and concise diagrams. Most of the information given was quite thorough, inspiring me to look up some more detail elsewhere. My only complaint is that the index at the back could be better; it generally contained just the philosophers names, with very few generic topics listed, such as time, reality, the soul...that sort of thing. All in all, a good, broad introductory book. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Philosophy Book: Big Ideas Simply Explained - The Economics Book - The Psychology Book --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co/products/48322141-the-philosophy-book-big-ideas-simply-explained](https://www.desertcart.co/products/48322141-the-philosophy-book-big-ideas-simply-explained) --- *Product available on Desertcart Colombia* *Store origin: CO* *Last updated: 2026-06-08*
