365 Days Of Philosophy

I’ve used The Eyewitness Companion book Philosophy by Stephen Law and James Garvey as an introductory text for high school students, and it contains great summaries of not only the historical aspects of philosophy but also some important concepts such as reasoning, fallacies and key ideas such as problem of evil, falsification and defining knowledge.  What really makes it stand out is the beautiful design and scope; while one criticism is that it only has limited space to cover a broad range, the images and text is attractive and appealing. As a teaching text, it was a useful brief summary that would be the basis of a class discussion, and I would often set a particular subject, break it down terms that were in the pages and set them as report subjects. It’s difficult to cover terms like existentialism and postmodernism in a brief way (and I should know with this podcast!), and I don’t really expect a text that dedicates a little more than a page or so to a subject like “logical positivism” be the be-all-and
