- Offers a refreshing ‘alternative history’ of philosophy
- Questions whether the some of the great tales of philosophy may
actually be fictions, falsehoods, lies and
fibs: Did Plato really write the Socratic Dialogues? Did Descartes ever really utter the words, “I think,
therefore I am”?
- Examines a few of the fascinating biographical details of
history’s greatest philosophers, such as Kant’s
need to roll himself three times in his sheets each night before sleeping
- Provides us with illuminating insights that will encourage a more active, critical way of thinking
