A useful overview of some of the major Western philosophical movements. It’s not a complete look, but it is a great place to get a sense of where to go next and who you’ll need to look up and read more of.
Humor and drawings make this survey of Western philosophy less of a slog than it would otherwise be. The book is intended as a college textbook. As a result, it covers a lot of material, but not very deeply.
