Loewer Barry, Law Stephen, Baggini Julian. 30-Second Philosophies: The 50 Most Thought-provoking Philosophies, Each Explained in Half a Minute

Ivy Press, 2012. — 160 p. — ISBN: 978-1-848314-50-430-Second Philosophies takes a revolutionary approach to getting a grip on the 50 most significant schools of philosophy. The book challenges leading thinkers to quit fretting about the meaning of meaning for a while and explain the most complex philosophical ideas-using nothing more than two pages, 300 words, and a metaphorical image. Here, in one unique volume, you have the chance to pick the potted brains of our leading philosophers and understand complex concepts such as Kant's Categorical Imerpative without ending up in a darkened room with an ice pack on your head.
