Interesting wisdom from philosophers
Until this time, many people still follow principles that has been shared to us by ancient philosophers. But until now, these principles or concepts are sometimes still being debated. This book provides the understanding behind the minds of these famous philosophers and how they came up with such concepts and theories. And there are actually a few of these concepts that I truly believe and try to practice. So I highly recommend this book as there are valuable nuggets of wisdom that you might be able to utilize in your life.

Ancient wisdom for the modern mind
In "Philosophy Simplified" the author breaks down the life, history and thinking of 10 philosophers of old so that the reader can easily indulge in ancient wisdom and apply it to their daily lives. The book follows a structure of presenting the known history of the philosopher, the main ideas they ascribed to, the famous things they said and what those saying mean to the modern reader.
i recommend this book for anyone who wants to have a better grip on the ideologies of old and for those who want a birds-eye view of philosophy as a whole.

A book on the 10 most iconic philosophical figures
This comprehensive book on the 10 most iconic philosophical figures is not just a read; it's a journey through the minds that have profoundly shaped human thought. Each chapter, dedicated to a different philosopher, from the existentialist musings of Jean-Paul Sartre to the intricate post-structuralism of Michel Foucault, is crafted with such depth and clarity that it feels like a personal dialogue with these great minds. The book brilliantly interweaves the personal, the philosophical, and the historical, offering a rich tapestry of ideas that have sculpted our understanding of the world. The inclusion of lesser-known facts about each philosopher adds a delightful human touch, bringing these often enigmatic figures to life. It's enlightening to see how their personal experiences and beliefs shaped their theories, providing a deeper and more empathetic understanding of their work.
Beyond just presenting their philosophies, the book excels in showing how these ideas continue to influence and challenge our contemporary world. The opposing views and quotes section is particularly engaging, sparking curiosity and inviting readers to delve deeper into the world of philosophical debate. This book is a treasure for anyone wishing to understand not just the philosophies but the philosophers themselves, in a way that is both profound and accessible. It's a rare gem that doesn't just educate but also inspires introspection. By the end of the book, I felt like I had not only gained knowledge but also developed a deeper appreciation for the complexity of human thought and the ongoing impact these philosophers have on our society today. It’s a must-listen for anyone seeking to understand the forces that have shaped our understanding of ourselves and the world around us.

Interesting Listen
Philosophy has always been something that intrigued me, particularly in college but I didn't have the time. It was one of those things I wanted to learn about but easy to forget.
As I have grown, so did my interest and I do a lot of driving so I thought what a great time to dig back in. This was a great start to my journey. I really enjoyed learning about some of the most iconic thinkers and their ideas/concepts/thoughts. It was interesting to see some of their thoughts develop over time and how they are still relevant today.

A lovely taster to many of the greatest minds
This book was a fantastic introduction to some of of the great philosophers, not only does it have a bit of their autobiography and some of their major teachings I liked the 10 quotes to incorporate into your daily life section. This audiobook has inspired me to buy further works from the people mentioned, I've got Plato's republic and didn't realise how much I'd be down with Kant. I think the book is best listened to over a period of time, so you can listen about one philosopher try and incorporate something into your life and then move onto the next, all these in the mentioned from locke to sartre have definitly provided me with some insight into my own life.
