The Weaver Reads reviewed Introducing Philosophy by Dave Robinson (Introducing Books)
Goodreads Review of Introducing Philosophy: A Graphic Guide
3 stars
Incredibly surface-level coverage of (mostly modern) philosophy, to the extent that the ideas of the thinkers mentioned are barely coherent. It does a decent job of synthesizing the continental and analytical traditions, but it is wholly Western. Everything between the Hellenistic period and Descartes is skipped over.
I suppose it's decent for what it claims to be, as it would be impossible for there to be a holistic way to introduce philosophy, but there's a lot here missing. It essentially ends with Baudrillard.
