Description: Philosophy is as old as history -- and as up-to-date as today's news. Each person holds a mixture of ideas that affects their view of themselves and the way they treat other people. A Brief Guide to Ideas explores the great ideas that still shape human thought. It's a concise guide to more than 40 major thinkers, movements and ideas in Western culture -- Plato, Descartes, Kierkegaard, and the like -- and also existentialism, humanism, and postmodernism. Arranged like an encyclopedia, including a detailed index, an appendix with questions from each chapter, and a glossary of important terms, this book is ideal for thinking believers with a passion for apologetics and a desire to know more about the ideas that shape our culture.
