Philosophy

by Martyn Oliver
Philosophy - Thryft
Philosophy - Thryft

Decoding the world's major schools of thought.

Philosophy could be a good read for someone interested in exploring different philosophical beliefs and the ideas of famous philosophers. Martyn Oliver's highly illustrated work explains the major schools of thought, from stoicism to post-modernism, and the beliefs of famous thinkers such as Aristotle, Hegel, and Foucault. Readers will gain a deeper understanding of philosophical concepts through Oliver's clear explanations and illustrations.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.
