Great Thinkers / Poor Writers,
By
This review is from: Conversations With Great Thinkers: The Classics For People Too Busy To Read Them (Paperback)
Good review but written in a style of a high school English term paper. I was expecting more insights and better writing.

Humanities Interpreted through Philosophy,
By Jill Bemis "Penandtome" (St. Paul, Minnesota USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Conversations With Great Thinkers: The Classics For People Too Busy To Read Them (Paperback)
This is an introduction to classical humanities figureheads with a philosophical twist.
*** Author L. James Hammond became intrigued with philosophy while still a teen. Research and academic skills learned at Harvard allowed Hammond to compile a series of articles on various topics such as philosophy, religion, ethics, literature, politics, physics, and etc. First published in China, the material reflects the author's philosophical view of how figures in classical humanities impacted today's society. The miscellanea index and citations included throughout these articles will encourage adventurist readers who wish to go beyond this superficial introduction to read more works that are classical.
