"Succinct and accessible" this international bestselling survey is "perfect for anyone who wants to dip their toe into the waters of philosophy" (Matt Haig, Washington Post).

From the timeless wisdom of the ancient Greeks to Christianity, the Enlightenment, existentialism, and postmodernism, Luc Ferry's instant classic brilliantly and accessibly explains the enduring teachings of philosophy—including its profound relevance to modern daily life and its essential role in achieving happiness and living a meaningful life. This lively journey through the great thinkers will enlighten every reader, young and old.

"This superb primer is proof that philosophy belongs at the center of life." —Publishers Weekly, starred review

"Ferry's openness, energy, and charm as a teacher burst through on every page. However difficult the questions he poses, his eagerness to find answers, to justify philosophy as a way of life, is infectious." —Wall Street Journal

"For everyone from the man in the street to the man in the Acropolis—a fine introduction to philosophy and its fundamental relevance to living a meaningful life." —Thomas Cathcart and Daniel Klein, New York Times–bestselling authors of Plato and a Platypus Walk into a Bar

"This is a vital book. Luc Ferry rehabilitates the ancient question, 'What is the best way of life?' as though our lives depended on it." —Matthew B. Crawford, New York Times–bestselling author of Shop Class as Soulcraft

"No dry academic, Ferry restores to philosophy a compelling urgency." —Booklist, starred review
