In a witty and engaging style that incorporates everything from Sting to cell phones to Bill Gates, Fearn demystifies the ways of thought that have shaped and inspired humanity -- among many others, the Socratic method, Descartes's use of doubt, Bentham's theory of utilitarianism, Rousseau's social contract, and, of course, the concept of common sense. Along the way, there are fascinating biographical snippets about the philosophers themselves: the story of Thales falling down a well while studying the stars, and of Socrates being told by a face-reader that his was the face of a monster who was capable of any crime.

A smooth, sweet concoction that should tickle the taste buds of the most philosophobic readers.' -- Julian Boggini, The Times Educational Supplement (U.K.)'A concise and entertaining attempt to place the skills of philosophy at our fingertips.' -- Olivier Burckhardt, The Independent on Sunday (U.K.).…
