- About The Author:
- Dave Robinson has taught philosophy for many years
and is the author of many Introducing titles
including the bestselling Ethics. He is now a
part-time lecturer in Critical Studies and lives in
Devon.
Philosophers have always enjoyed asking awkward and
provocative questions, such as: What is the nature of
reality? What are human beings really like? What is
special about the human mind and consciousness? Are we
free to choose who we are and what we do? Can we prove
that God exists? Can we be certain about anything at
all? What is truth? Does language provide us with a true
picture of the world? How should we behave towards each
other? Do computers think?
Written by Dave Robinson and illustrated by Judy
Groves, Introducing Philosophy is a comprehensive
graphic guide to the thinking of all the significant
philosophers of the Western world from Heraclitus to
Derrida. It examines and explains their key arguments
and ideas without being obscure or solemn. Lively and
accessible, it is the perfect introduction to
philosophers and philosophical ideas for anyone coming
to the subject for the first time.
