These step-by-step diagrams are an incredibly clever learning device to include, especially for visual learners." – Examiner.com

From all corners of the world and from different traditions and approaches to philosophy and the art of reasoning, the contributors to this excellent book highlight the impact of each philosopher on his society and how it affected the development of subsequent ideas.
