It does make the strange decision to not present its material in any kind of order, which makes it harder to see the connections between different schools of thought and how different ideas developed. I think by having the whole book be sort of random, it also makes it more difficult to retain some of the information presented.I found the book at its best in two areas 1. when presenting short, three to five page chapters on certain philosophers and their main ideas and 2. the short chapters that clearly explained specific thought problems and paradoxes, such as the trolley problem or Plato’s cave.On the negative side, I would say, so much info is presented is such a brief fashion, sometimes just a couple sentence introduction to a complex idea, that some concepts are pretty difficult to grasp, and not clearly enough explained (for me). Scattered throughout the book, there are also at least several obvious errors, maybe due to lax or rushed proofreading (such as a sentence in the chapter on Bertrand Russell, that as written seems to say he was opposed to nuclear disarmament, when the opposite was true - in fact he was the original president of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament)… which obviously makes me wonder what else the book may have got wrong.Overall though, the book was basically what I hoped it would be, a mostly clear, concise run through the major philosopher’s biographies and philosophical concepts in less than three hundred pages. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ I should have read the description closer. This is ... *by M***A on Reviewed in the United States on July 23, 2018* I should have read the description closer. This is a very small book. Due to the size of the print it is hard to read for me. The information, however, it on point. A decent purchase. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful resource! *by K***N on Reviewed in the United States on June 15, 2019* For class, we’ve been studying the Unbearable Lightness of Being (IB HL English Student). I found Kundera’s explanations of Nietzsche’s “Eternal return” confusing and frustrating. This inhibited writing well about the book. Philosophy 101 completely changed that. I now understand! It simplified to a level that made it understandable for me and worked as an official source for my defining “Eternal Return”. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/98797739-philosophy-101-from-plato-and-socrates-to-ethics-and-metaphysics](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/98797739-philosophy-101-from-plato-and-socrates-to-ethics-and-metaphysics) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
