This is an entertaining and fairly engaging look at 50 philosophers, except they aren't all philosophers, as the author admits. It is impossible in two pages (small pages, at that) to give more than a hint at what is important about each thinker, and in some cases, the two pages don't even achieve that. After a while, you'll forget which was Hegel and which was Kant. Perhaps it is a sign of today's short attention spans that such a book even gets published.

-I guess I don't, not always anyway. This is a frustrating but delightful way to learn about logic, philosophy, thought, and how we make mistakes.

Another book in my campaign to step outside of my skull and have a good rummage around inside it.

This book catches you out in errors of thought that you didn't know you were making - a fantastic gift to anyone who wants to get better at thinking straight. Be warned, this can be painful. But by the end I was willing myself to find more faults with my thinking.

Doubting yourself can be useful, if you can use this to make a decision now that you can't actually make that decision just yet and furthermore if you can decide now what additional information you need to, in the future, decide when a decision might be made as well as deciding what that decision is when said information is to hand.

So to speak.

A really rousing look at all the ways in which religion oppresses women, and in many cases, even threatens their lives. A must read.
