Table of ContentsReviewsa stimulating introduction to thinkers and themes for students and general readers alike P D Smith, The Guardian `The interviewees are so articulate and the conversations are so interesting.' GrrlScientist, the guardian `Engaging and accessible ... Readers can enjoy each chapter individually or read the entire book for an understanding of major figures of Western philosophy. As was the first, this book is highly recommended for all general readers with an interest in philosophy.' Scott Duimstra, Library Journal `As a fan of the Philosophy Bites podcast, I'm very pleased to see this publication of conversations with leading scholars on major figures in the history of philosophy. The result is not only a good introduction to that history, but a rare chance to read top-level philosophers speaking extemporaneously about the subjects they know best. Even regular listeners to the podcast will be glad to have this written version of highlights from the series.'
