Why do a lot of people think philosophy is totally irrelevant? What is philosophy anyway? The ABCs of philosophy - easy to understand but never simplistic. Beginning with basic questions posed by the ancient Greeks - What is the world made of? What is a man? What is knowledge?

Download or read book Filosof a para principiantes De Plat n hasta hace rato Edici n Especial Phi losophy for Beginners Special Edition written by RIUS and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2022-10-18 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ¡Ya está aquí la más amena historia de la filosofía! En un volumen le pasamos revista a todos los filósofos, desde los presocráticos hasta los más recientes. Aunque usted no lo crea, la filosofía puede ser muy divertida. ¡E incluye stickers! Creador de Los Agachados, Mis Supermachos y más de un centenar de libros publicados, Rius, el gran monero mexicano, ocupó un lugar clave en la historia de la cultura popular. “Lo más difícil de tratar con humor es la filosofía. No sé por qué, quizá porque se trata sólo de ideas de pensamiento, que resulta harto difícil de manejar. Y resumir y presentar en un "lenguaje" accesible a todos. Hice primero el tomo 1 y luego, con más de 10 años de diferencia, el 2. Uno con una editorial y otro ya con Grijalbo, pero me costó un huevo del ojo.” —RIUS ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The most entertaining history of philosophy! In one volume, we take a look at all the major philosophers, from pre-Socratic to modern-day thinkers. Believe it or not, philosophy can be a lot of fun. Creator of Los Agachados (The Crouched), Mis Supermachos (My Supermachos), and more than a hundred published books, Rius, the great Mexican cartoonist, holds a key place in the history of popular culture. Philosophy (from Greek filos = love, sophia = wisdom: the love of wisdom) is nothing more than man's attempt to know his place in the universe, and to try to explain it through reason. But hang on a minute: First, we want to say something about this book... First, this is not a book for specialists, but for beginners. Secondly, although we've tried to use language that is simple and understandable by everyone, we recommend that you read this at a leisurely pace, trying to understand the meaning of every word. And thirdly, open your mind, don't get stuck on what you "already know"; accept and reason through things, even if they clash with what you already believe... (This is for those who believe in dogmas, Marxist or otherwise.) Believe it or not, philosophy can actually be a lot of fun!
