Historia de la filosofía sin temor ni temblor
When the conversation turns to philosophy, many of us start to shiver: Philosophy! What's that? It's definitely not for me! There is no reason for this reaction. We've all asked the basic philosophical questions at some point in our lives: they deal with death, truth, justice, nature, time... To philosophize is just to think about our humanity. But...who were the great philosophers? People just like us, worrying over the course of centuries about the same things that worry us now. Their story is a tale of rational adventures, of ingenuity and invention, not short of persecution, dungeons, martyrdoms and also surprising discoveries. This book tells the story with simplicity, without academic pedantry, in a way that can be enjoyed without fear ...and lets you go on thinking for yourself.
