Overview
Great Philosophers takes readers aged 12 and up on a global journey through history's most influential thinkers — from Socrates and Buddha to Confucius and Sun Tzu. Written by award-winning author Clive Gifford and strikingly illustrated by Sam Kalda, this accessible, beautifully designed volume introduces philosophy's major branches, traces the real-world impact of ideas on science, law, and society, and proves that big questions belong to everyone. Complete with a glossary, historical timelines, and branch spotlights, it's an essential addition to middle-school collections and a natural prestige gift title.
