    Rename it "The Story Of Western Philosophy"

    This book is a jewel. It let us to a journey of westerm philosophy with very artistic pictures and great language but its tittle is not apt. There are few pages dealing with Eastern philosophy Otherwise a great book.

    This is a blatant eurocentric book celebrating European supremacy if it claims to tell story of philosophy without giving any good account of Easterm philosophy. DK publication pull your head out of Eurocentric ass. Britain's colonialism has ended, time to off your colonial hang...

    A good general introduction to philosophy

    Being a PhD student in management, without any background in philosophy, I was desperately searching for introductory books. I did read some of them. But, I find Bryan Magee's exposition to be better. I loved the graphic illustrations. Overall, this is a good one for novices like me. By the way, I chanced upon this book while browsing through the philosophy section in Flipkart. Also, the book was delivered in good condition.

    Outstanding book to introduce young adults to philosophy

    Comprehensive coverage of different schools of philosophy with beautiful illustrations. This is not a book if you are looking to cover in depth any given school of philosophy, or any particular philosopher. I purchased this along with Sophie's World to introduce my children to the world of philosophy, and I am very happy that I made this choice.
