Introduction to Philosophy: From the Presocratics to Aristotle (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781507576809)

"Maurizio Bisogno is one of the few persons I know who have made of philosophy their fundamental commitment for life. For this reason I think that he would be very stimulating when coming into contact with young students as a teacher, increasing their motivation for the study of philosophy, and exchanging with them a real philosophical dialogue." Prof. Evandro Agazzi, Emeritus Professor of Philosophy How to understand philosophy without reading thousands of pages - An intelligent quick introduction.Understanding what is Philosophy is considered difficult.Because of its time span: 2400 years.Because of the hundreds of authors.Because of difficult theories, to quote only some common reasons.Nevertheless, the Western world is rooted in Philosophy.The Ancient Greeks started a completely new and revolutionary way of thinking.The Myths were replaced by observation and reason.These new tools offered a new explanation of Nature, of the world and of our place within it.They provided a method to understand reality.This book will guide you through the origin of Philosophy and its most important developments.The second part of this book is dedicated to the philosophy in practice: a series of articles to practice philosophy in our daily life.This is the first volume of a series that intends to initiate the young student to the great thinkers of our culture while offering a starting point to all those who are interested in Philosophy for their own information and cultural interest."We stand on the shoulders of giants" means simply that you need to know those giants of the Western world, explore their thinking and enrich yourself of their dreams, efforts and their thinking.
