Well , rating this book is kind of dilemma to me , As a book speaks about history of thought it gives no history , its better to call it A Selective Outlines of Thought , this title would be compatible with the sub-title A Philosophical Guide to Living .The book is easy and readable to everyone , Ferry meant to keep away all the academic philosophers and their complex ideas , just to make the reader passes from one chapter to another as he reads a romantic novel or something similar . that is why the book hold no thoughts of Schopenhauer , Plato ,Spinoza nor Hobbes , he mentioned Descartes briefly and prejudicedly , and devoted a whole chapter for Nietzsche's philosophy , which was the most interesting chapter in the whole book , as I am a big fan of him .
It has opened my eyes towards a philosopher which I have forgotten in my long journey , Heidegger he will be my next winter reading challenge .
