Powers, \u003ci\u003eBoston Globe\u003c\/i\u003e. \"Well-written, clear and informed, they have a breezy wit about them....I find them hard to stop reading.\"--Richard Bernstein, \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e. \"Witty, illuminating, and blessedly concise.\"--Jim Holt, \u003ci\u003eWall Street Journal\u003c\/i\u003e. These brief and enlightening explorations of our greatest thinkers bring their ideas to life in entertaining and accessible fashion. Philosophical thought is deciphered and made comprehensive and interesting to almost everyone.
