Reviews

"Edwards is a witty and knowledgeable museum guide touring the reader through a vast collection of the greatest works of philosophers- both obscure and renowned - Edwards is not content to simply tell the stories of the philosophers, although he provides historical details about their lives and the political/religious climate during their lifetime, Edwards adds his own humorous and sometimes acerbic commentary throughout the tour, either agreeing or disagreeing as his own views dictate, which takes this volume beyond simply a compilation of the works of great philosophers' past." --Sacramento Book Review, October 2008
