Left: author, Nigel Warburton. A Little History of Philosophy Nigel Warburton Philosophy begins with the nature of reality and how we should live. These were the concerns of Socrates, who spent his days in the ancient Athenian marketplace asking awkward questions, disconcerting the people he met by showing them how little they genuinely understood. This engaging history introduces the great thinkers in Western philosophy and explores their most compelling ideas about the world and how best to live in it. In forty brief chapters, Nigel Warburton guides us on a tour of the major ideas in the history of philosophy. He provides interesting and often quirky stories from the lives and deaths of thought-provoking philosophers from the ancients, who debated freedom and the spirit, to Peter Singer, who asks the disquieting philosophical and ethical questions that haunt our own times. Warburton not only makes philosophy accessible, he offers inspiration to think, argue, reason and ask. A Little History of Philosophy presents “A lively and eye-catching book, the grand sweep of humanity’s search for philosophical understanding written in an easy style which and invites all to join in the discussion. should have splendid appeal for a Nigel Warburton is a contemporary philosopher. As well as being young audience.”—Peter Cave, Senior Lecturer in Philosophy at the Open University, he hosts a author of Can a Robot be Human?: weekly podcast and an integrated philosophy website and he teaches a 33 Perplexing Philosophy Puzzles popular course on art and philosophy at the Tate Modern. He is the author of many very popular introductions to philosophy including Philosophy: The Basics, Thinking from A to Z and Free Speech: A Very September Short Introduction. 288 pp. 216x138mm. 40 b/w illus.

With Gombrich’s Little History, at last available in English there will be many generations of future historians who will attribute to it their lifelong passion for history—and for truth.” —Lisa Jardine, The Times “The book charms, amuses and informs superbly . In A Little History, Gombrich triumphantly proves he is as much a story teller as a professor.” —Andrew Roberts, Daily Express “The publishers tell us that Philip Pullman calls it ‘irresistible’. So it is . as an outline of how we have come to be where we are I doubt it could be bettered . a perfect birthday present for a child with an enquiring mind. I wish it had been available when I was young.”—Allan Massie, Literary Review “A delight for all ages.
