Summary:

"Learning philosophy has never been easier... This essential course-in-a-book takes you on a fascinating journey through the questions that have puzzled humanity for over 2,500 years. From metaphysics and ethics to political philosophy and the philosophy of science, learn a different branch of philosophy across nine practical and accessible modules that explain all of the key ideas of history's greatest thinkers - from Plato and Descartes to de Beauvoir and Nietzsche - and how they still resonate today. Perfect for complete beginners, Philosophy- A Complete Course untangles complex theories using clear, jargon-free explanations paired with bold infographics, thought experiments, biographies of influential philosophers, and summary \"maps\" of the key ideas in every module, and how they relate to each other. The book's innovative, graphic approach simplifies even the most challenging ideas like existentialism, empiricism, and dualism, making them easier than ever to understand. Whether you are studying philosophy, expanding your knowledge, or simply exploring life's biggest questions, Philosophy- A Complete Course will sharpen your critical thinking and deepen your understanding of the world"-- Provided by publisher.
