10-Minute Philosophy: From Buddhism to Stoicism, Confucius and Aristotle - Bite-Sized Wisdom From Some of History's Greatest Thinkers by Patrick King
2.0
Basically, a (very quick) overview of various branches of Philosophy, lightly touching on - amongst others - some of the following schools of thought:
What is Philosophy, and why we should care?
Aristotle
Buddhism
Confucius
Descartes (Cogito, Ergo Sum)
Stoicism
Taoism
And I've probably missed a few.
While it does it's job in admirably presenting these schools of thoughts and their various proponents, this was (perhaps necessarily) too shallow a read/listen for me. I'm fully aware, however, that that is because I have a scholastic background in studying the same!
Taking my own prejudices out of the equation: a worth-while attempt to bring the subject matter to the masses.
