Gary Hayden "You Kant Make It Up" (Oneworld Publications)




This is another book vaguely like the books of philosophy  from the graphic styled ones i have read recently with a very similar structure and tone. It's very simple to understand for any reader or those starting out on a philosophy degree.

On the other hand, it's frustratingly simple and repetitive for someone who knows a good bit about philosophy already, however i would still recommend it to beginners. It's well laid out, too; you can skip through it for the stuff you're interested in, letting one idea lead onto another. There's a touch of humour in the whole treatment of it, which might help as well.

With a title like that, it's got to be pretty humorist. :p

Looks interesting! I'll look into that for my 14-year-old stepdaughter. (Not to mention, myself! I have a degree in philosophy but that was about a zillion years ago. I could do with some brushing up.Especially now that there's another budding philosopher in the family.)

Thanks!

I enjoy philosophy and will probably check this out.

I read a book about the love lives of famous philosophers a while back. It was pretty funny and a little sad.
