Review: Fantastic book. NOT atheist propaganda.... - This is an excellent book for introducing fundamental ideas in philosophy. It is presented in a fun and unique way that will engage younger readers. The book is separated into chapters which deal with the different branches of philosophy and is narrated by Hericles, a pre-Socratic philosopher. He introduces different philosophers and their ideas through the book as he paddles his canoe down the river of philosophy. I feel like I must defend this book against the one star reviews that refer to this literature as “atheist propaganda.” This is an unfair assessment. The chapter on God offers two arguments for the existence of God and two rebuttals, that point out the logical inconsistencies in these arguments. I feel that because the chapter ends with these rebuttals, that people assume the author is endorsing the ideas. This is simply not the case, and anyone who makes this claim is plainly being intellectually dishonest. The author must start with the positive claim (God exists) before he can move to the arguments against it. This is consistent with the burden of proof. If I claim to possess an invisible dragon in my garage, it is up to me to prove it is there, it is not up to the other person to prove it is not. While I can understand that anyone who is indoctrinating their children might find the act of encouraging them to think for themselves detrimental to their goal, this book does not favor atheism over any other world view. Each idea is represented accurately and in a very engaging way. Perhaps the people who called this book atheist propaganda shoud have followed Heracles’ advice on page 14 and exited through the dogmatism door since they can not handle having their beliefs challenged.
Review: Easy to read, exciting, funny, and informative - First off, DO NOT believe the reviews claiming this is atheist propaganda. It isn't. The book covers philosophy and some of the famous philosophers in history, to include religious and atheist philosophers. This is an introductory book on philosophy and it does show because it doesn't go deep into many topics. But this is okay, because it is meant to inspire and teach future philosophers. The book is very fast paced, fun, and accurate. Not much time is wasted on faulty arguments which is nice, but could make people who aren't familiar with logic think the book is one-sided. It isn't, it just doesn't waste time.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cute book that is a nice survey of Western philosophy
*by R***R on September 17, 2023*

This is a cute book that manages to cover 2,000+ years of philosophical thought. The book covers: logic, perception, minds, free will, God, and ethics. The book does a reasonably good job of just stating the facts and the principle arguments of the principals though there is a secular humanist slant that shines through. The cartoons are cute, and given that you are trying to survey two thousand years of debate in less than 200 pages the book is a great start to begin your philosophical journey. In some causes, like Kant's categorical imperative and Nietzsche's view of the fundamental drive, the book misses it, but overall the book does well. If you are looking for a basic survey of western philosophy that is fun to read and stays fairly neutral then this book is a good pick.
