Great philosophers: the lives and ideas of history’s greatest thinkers. Stephen Law. 2013.

In Great Philosophers, bestselling author Stephen Law condenses and deciphers the fundamental ideas, as well as providing a vivid biography, of each of these seminal figures. Avoiding the technical jargon and complex logic associated with most books on philosophy, Law brings the thoughts of great thinkers from Confucius and Buddha to Wittgenstein and Sartre, to life.
