Kellogg, Michael

Montaigne wrote that reading is “the best provision I have found for this human journey.” Kellogg’s book is well worth taking along.

Kellogg's readable evaluation of each author will be intriguing to students as well as to a general audience, particularly readers interested in literature, history, or philosophy.

Kellogg does a wonderful job of showing that Western philosophy's role may not be to find concrete truths, but rather to expand our knowledge of what it means to be human. Readers new to philosophy and those with a background in the subject will find this accessible book highly rewarding.
