Written for teens, this book will also be of interest to adults who want a clear and concise summary of philosophical concepts and philosophers. Explanations of philosophical terms and concepts are written in easy-to-understand language without being too elementary, though readers may find the book repetitious in parts. The colorful graphics reinforce the text. One unique aspect of the book is the descriptions of practical applications of philosophy. This will dispel the misconception of philosophy as an esoteric discipline of interest only to academics. A useful book for anyone who wants to understand the philosophical concepts that form the foundation of Western society. If this book had not been sent to me for a chance to review than I never would have purchased a copy myself. I have not been that interested or given much thought on the topic of this book "Philosophy". However after reading this book, I have a better understanding of just how important philosophy plays a role in our lives. Having no knowledge of this topic I thought this book was very well written. It was written with lots of great facts and information. Yet at a level that someone like me can understand without feeling like this book was written over my head. I found the information in this book to be very informative and interesting. All of the references were good as well. Check this book out if you are interested in philosophy.

The book is organized with an enumerative structure where morality may be the subject, and then a compare and contrast sub-structure where different philosophers have their ideas described. Information on the page is very scattered, as are the ideas presented. You can even tell before you open the book that it is going to be very scatter-brained and chaotic to read from looking at the cover. Even the photographs of philosophers presented in the text are mosaics. I feel that this style shows the vastness of the information available for this subject and gives teases of knowledge that the reader should feel encouraged to research independently. ( )
