This introduction to philosophy covers all of the big questions in philosophy in small, bitseized nutshells!  Free from jargon, it's an ideal book for anyone who wants to gain a holistic view of philosophy from the ancient Greeks, through the Middle Ages to the present day.
 
Very often, modern universities skip over much of western philosophy, and assume that the philosophers of the Enlightenment are the be-all and end-all of philosophy.  Philosophy in a Nutshell challenges this common narrative in a fun, informative way through the use of anecdotes, easy-to-follow logic, and quotes from the great philosophers through the ages.
