Author: James J. GarveyLanguage: EnglishPublisher: ContinuumPublication Date: 24/12/2006Editorial Review: To come from Julian Baggini, Jeremy Stangroom, Anthony O'Hear (Director, Royal Institute of Philosophy), Ted Honderich, Tim Crane "James Garvey's lucid, elegant and insightful book should be read by anybody who wants to know how the great books of philosophy have shaped the history of the discipline." (Jeremy Stangroom) "Garvey's Twenty Greatest Philosophy Books cuts through the musty mystique of such great thinkers as Plato, Descartes and Kant, and explains some of the thinking behind their great books. He suggests philosophers are fun people prone to being arrested, poisoned, exiled or ending up running for their lives just because of what they think. His discussions are fresh and appealing, and his chosen books are resonant with relevance." - South China Morning PostAbout the Author: James Garvey is Secretary of the Royal Institute of Philosophy, UK. He is the author of The Twenty Greatest Philosophy Books and The Ethics of Climate Change, also published by Continuum.Number of Pages: 208
