Synopsis

This is a 3-book combination with the following titles:

Book 1: In this convenient guide, several ancient, famous philosophers will be covered, so you may get a better understanding of the ancestors who have shaped our ideas and theories before we were born.  

Book 2: Stoicism is a concept that has been studied more and more lately. The philosophy that dates back all the way to Socrates has been significant in many people’s lives. So, today, we will expand on what stoicism is, where it originated from, and how you can use it in your life to become a better person and achieve more. On top of that, we’ll discuss how the Golden Rule (do unto others what you would have them do unto you) applies and is directly related to the idea of stoicism. We’ll go over what is meant by “logos” and why so many businesspeople and entrepreneurs have studied stoicism to improve their responses and results to changes in the market and their negotiations. 

Book 3: Skepticism is a philosophical movement that has been in existence for centuries. And even though some may call it old and outdated, studying this concept can bring enlightenment to the soul. Sometimes, being skeptical is erroneously connected to simply being negative. But this assumption is far from the truth.

Goodreads review by Laura

This book posed interesting problems and age-old debates. I appreciated the concepts it featured because they led to interesting class discussions. I read this book for a senior philosophy class and I thought it did a good job of providing an overview of philosophical concepts. I liked many of the a......more
