Book Synopsis



The ultimate one-stop guide to the subject, this 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 modules that explore and explain all of the most important ideas of history's greatest thinkers - from Plato, Aristotle, and Confucius to the Stoics, Friedrich Nietzsche, and Simone de Beauvoir - and how they still resonate today.

Perfect for complete beginners and anyone seeking a comprehensive overview of the subject, Philosophy: A Complete Course untangles complex theories using clear, jargon-free explanations paired with bold infographics, biographies of influential philosophers, and "concept maps" that visualize relationships between ideas. The book's innovative, graphic approach simplifies even the most challenging ideas - from metaphysics and ethics to existentialism and machine intelligence - making them easier than ever to understand.

In this essential guide to philosophy, you will find:

  • Clear and simple explanations of the key ideas across the most important fields of philosophical study, with bold, graphic-led explanations and summaries of each one
  • Timeless and inspiring quotes from the greatest thinkers of all time
  • Biographies of the most important figures in the field - from Frantz Fanon to Immanuel Kant
  • Visually-led summaries at the end of each module that tie everything together


...in a bold and appealing package.

Whether you are studying philosophy, seeking to expand 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.
