I love DK books, but I was floored by the Big Ideas Simply Explained series. The Philosophy Book was the first one I wanted to get through. I am extremely interested in philosophy and this book was great introduction to many great philosophers since the beginning of time. There are ideas we hold on to without any clue where they originated from. This book put many books from great thinkers on my reading list. There are endless rabbit holes to go down and this book is a great guide. I look forward to the many different subject in this series. I have many on my list from DK. They are the ultimate reference books!

muy buena manera de tomar un primer contacto con este mundo, aunque ni mucho menos suficiente

I loved this book. The book breaks down all of the major and minor philosophic works into easy to understand language.

I give this book 4.5 stars which rounds up to 5.
This book gives a great overview of philosophy. I was a philosophy major in college and this book covers many of the ideas I learned at school. However, my only grievance is that it leaves some ideas out like Kantian ethics. But other than that I highly recommend this to people who like philosophy or want to learn more about it.

Again, these are great books to scan through and to learn from without it being boring. The graphics are helpful, and the information isn't overwhelming. I've learned a lot by these two books. There are more; economics, politics, and there is one more I can't remember.
