Archetypes of wisdom douglas soccio 7th edition

You know you are bored when you are reading your husband's old textbook, but I never took a formal Philosophy class and I felt like I was missing out. Still, it is nice to get back to the basics. This book is interesting enough that I am reading it in my spare time and am not motivated by a grade.

After one year of on-and-off reading, and periodical late fees, I've finally finished this awesome introduction to the wisdom of the west!

Really learned a lot about the context, core concepts and implication of some of the most well-known thinkers in the western civilization. Dear old Soccio has grown pretty dear to me.

It feels like I have been having a long conversation with a warm-hearted old grandpa, and not reading an old dry textbook! I'll still hold on to this book for a bit longer until I've revised the notes and revived my memory of the earlier chapters!

He merely gives the reader enough information to enable them to understand the issues each philosophical viewpoint is dealing with.
