Reviews for The Philosopher's Toolkit
Rating: 4.2 out of 5 stars
4/5
5 ratings4 reviews
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Rather simplistic even for popular philosophy, although probably good for reference
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5-keeps me grounded on -isms, arguments, counter-arguments, reasoning and its limitations
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Not always easy to parse--these are philosophers not poets. But always thought-provoking and insightful.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5nice, but one might have to actually understand philosophy before being able to meaningfully navigate this book. probably wholly worthwhile as a companion to a beginning philosophy class or proseminar.
