Time to think? A Short History of Philosophy From Ancient Greece to the Post-Modernist Era by Peter Gibson

Are you using this time at home to improve your mind?  Would you like to learn a bit about philosophy?  If so, this book provides a brief overview of the subject.  Those who become intrigued will not doubt want to read further but, if you just want a sense of the important thinkers, this book will provide exactly that.

This title starts in 585 BCE and works its way up to philosophy since 1960.  Thus, it is very comprehensive.  I enjoyed this book.  Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this title in exchange for an honest review.

By the way, if you would like to learn more about philosophy from a novel, try this.Sophie's World: A Novel About the History of Philosophy (FSG Classics)I very much enjoyed this title.

I love to read, recommend books and open the world of reading to others. I tutor to ensure that the next generation of readers will know the joys of a good book because their reading skills have improved. I am an avid reader, especially of mysteries and fiction. I believe that two of the world's greatest inventions were the public library and eyeglasses!
