Description: In 43 lively chapters Peter Adamson tells the story of philosophy from its beginnings to Plato and Aristotle. Most histories jump from one famous name to another, but Adamson shows that the people and ideas in between, usually overlooked, are fascinating and significant. Based on his popular podcasts, this is serious history with a light touch.
Review Quotes: "This book was written in the same lively style as the podcast and should appeal to both general readers and scholars of ancient philosophy... Highly recommended. Lower-level undergraduates and above; general readers." --Choice
