This is an easily readable overview of the main points of philosophical thought starting with Stoicism and the Greeks and moving through to modern secular humanism. If you're new to philosophy and looking for a good introduction this book is for you. You don't need to be well versed in any of the existing philosophical texts to get something out of this one.
