Title: Compelling !
Review: I enjoyed this book immensely. It is passionate, fascinating and full of good advice for a layperson like me. The explanations of the ideas of the major philosophers are crystal-clear, but these one can find in quite a few other good commentaries. What I found most valuable in this book was its advice on how we should approach a philosophical work: that the logical progression of ideas is not everything in a work; that philosophy is more a work of art that should be approached as such; that one should not just look for proof of the validity of ideas, but instead see if those ideas are helpful in explaining reality. The intelligent layperson should bear these in mind when he next reads Nietszche or Marx.
