Publisher's summary

This is a bundle of several books that talks about different philosophers and thinkers.

The first of these thinkers is Thomas Aquinas, a Catholic man of the clergy, who had refreshing new concepts to propose about God, life, and the afterlife. The Marian prayer, the natural law, and some of his inspiring quotes and sayings will be included here.

Following this religious man is the famous David Hume, a Scottish historian and thinker, who was a firm advocate of skepticism, naturalism, and empiricism. His thoughts and quotes have been praised by many. Scientific topics were some of the things he was most interested in, and some of these will be discussed in further detail.

Another religious man with political views is Desiderius Erasmus, a philosopher and scholar from the Netherlands, who was born during the renaissance and stood for the right to education, humanistic views, and Protestantism.

We will discuss Baruch Spinoza’s ideas, who combined stoicism, rationalism, and naturalistic views about God in extreme ways. His ethics have been questioned and defended by many philosophers.

First, the political philosopher John Locke will be explored. Mr. Locke was the libertarian who said something when things appeared to go in the wrong direction. Some considered him to be an idealist, but his assessments of the government, the concept of property, and that of human rights have been the proponents of liberty and have inspired many to take action.

After this critical thinker, we will focus on Immanuel Kant, one of the most famous philosophers from Germany. Originally from Prussia, Kant explains to us why human reasoning about metaphysics, ethics, and intelligence is superior, and how his method called “criticism” has revolutionized the way people look at philosophy.

Next in line is Plato, Aristotle’s student from ancient Greece. Being one of the founders of classical philosophy, he writes about epistemology, education, democracy, and metaphysics.

Later, take a look at Jean-Paul Sartre, a well-known philosopher from the 20th century, who is seen as the embodiment of existentialism. After the Second World War, his intellectual knowledge set the tone for the irony and atmosphere of the culture.

You will most likely realize how sophisticated and intelligent Rene Descartes was. His rationalism and his logical conclusions have paved the way for rhetoric discussion about the essence of one’s existence and the idea of God. His speeches about materialism will be outlined and summarized, and many important quotes and background information will be given.

After this, the guide will touch on Friedrich Nietzsche’s ideas. This man’s influence is undoubtedly grand and impressive. His nihilism and his theories about the free will we all possess as human beings have helped people become more accomplished and motivated.

The last thinker of the 20th century is Karl Marx. And despite the many good and bad faces of communism that have been applied in the past 100 years, it’s important to note that Karl Marx’s ideas were unique, fresh, and fascinating, especially when you consider his ethics and views on capitalism, social systems, ideologies, and civilization, in general.

This is excellent

This book is terrific. I urge you (or perhaps any person who checks this out) to buy this audio book. I liked it. Such an intriguing idea. I believe I will let my brother or sisters spouse listen to it. They need to know that there are audiobooks like these out there.

Interesting

Without a doubt, one of the greatest books in this particular niche. I hope you will take my thoughts seriously, as I highly recommend this audio to you. I am trying to mention something bad about this audio book, but I can't. It's simply too great. So without any further exaggeration, I simply think everybody should consider listening to it.

This write-up shows my personal opinions and interests. The storyteller's voice was simply calming. Did I already point out that it sounded very professional? It did. Without a doubt, and that's exactly why I just liked listening to it so much. I literally did not see anything bad with this book. If I am wrong, then let me know about that. However, I found it to be almost perfect, and that's what made a difference to me.

This is a secret jewel. This book has precious information. This audiobook was worth paying attention to, in my honest opinion. I guess the first couple of pages were my favorite ones, since the entire principle that the title talks about, gets explained. All the basics are here. Later on in the book, more depth gets included, and I believe this is what makes it so great.

By far, one of the greatest books in this area of interest. This audio book is entitled to a big, fat 5-star review. It's an interesting concept, the whole premise of this book. You don't generally see that in other books. And that's the reason why it can use a person like me to compose a couple of positive things about it.

I simply just wanted to write something positive about this audio book. This audiobook was worth paying attention to, in my view. I learned a lot just by soaking everything up. The information was great, especially if you already understand a bit about the idea. Really, you might know nothing at all about it and still follow along effortlessly.

Some of the greatest tips about this specific theme are candidly being disclosed by the author. That's why I love it. I enjoyed this subject, so I got this book. The narrator's voice was relaxing. Did I already point out that it appeared to be extremely professional? It did. Without a doubt, and that's the reason that I just liked listening to it a lot.

Awesome

The difference between this audio book and some other audio books, is really that this book is a lot better. The audiobook explains numerous perspectives extremely well. It also dives deeper into the content. My favorite parts of the book were actually the last chapters, in which the conclusion clicked. I completely enjoyed listening to this book. It contains all of the elements of a publication about this subject that it ought to have.
