Nigel Warburton makes difficult philosophical concepts easy with his Little History of Philosophy. The senior lecturer in philosophy at the Open University follows humanity’s quest for answers to some of the big questions: what is reality? and how should I live? Warburton, author of several popular introductions to philosophy, takes a chronological look at key moments in the history of Western thought from the execution of Socrates to the modern animal rights movement. Warburton presents more than a history of ideas, he invites the reader to think for himself.
