Philosophy A Complete Course

Master the Essentials in Simple Steps

The ultimate one-stop guide to the subject, this book takes you on a fascinating journey through the questions that have puzzled humanity for over 2,500 years.

From metaphysics and ethics to political philosophy and the philosophy of science, learn a different branch of philosophy across nine modules that explore and explain all of the most important ideas of history’s greatest thinkers – from Plato, Aristotle, and Confucius to the Stoics, Friedrich Nietzsche, and Simone de Beauvoir – and how they still resonate today.
