Now is the perfect time to expand your knowledge and learn something new or delve deeper into a topic you’ve always been interested in. With 125 concise, informative, and entertaining entries, The Bedside Book of Philosophy explores the key theories, great insights, thought-provoking questions, influential personalities, and seminal publications in the field over the millennia. Gregory Bassham covers a wide range of topics and cultures — from Confucian ethics and Plato’s theory of forms to Occam’s Razor, Hume’s A Treatise of Human Nature, existentialism, feminist philosophy, Social Darwinism, and The Good Place — all in an accessible, conversational voice.
