Format:Taschenbuch
This book is intended for beginners in philosophy or just anyone who wants to refresh their memory as to what the basics of a given philosopher are. From the Pre-Socratics to Contemporary philosophers all are listed on here. The whole Tradition of Western Dialectical thought and discussion is simplified for any average reader or someone who does not follow or understand what philosophy is about. The cartoons on it are not to great, but help to lighten the weight of philosophy and make it more pleasing to the reader to enjoy.

This book is one of the best books I have seen to help break down the burdens of the history of philosophy...It is a book that all would enjoy, from beginners to advanced philosophers. It is straight to the point and in layman's terms, even a child could understand it.

Neutrality does not exist, everyone has his own ideas. The author of this book belongs to the faith of Postmodern Skepticism. Except for the emphasis on postmodern or feminist thinkers, Palmer remains balanced. The exposition of philosophical ideas is not oversimplified. This is not the case of the lovely book "Sophie's World", by the Lutheran Christian J. Gaarder, where the oversimplification sometimes turns into incorrectness. Gaarder's book is yet an excellent choice for those who would prefer to discover the history of philosophy by reading a charming novel written in the style of "Alice in the wonderland".
Palmer's treatment is good. I wish he had not remained silent about Jewish thinkers such as some writers of the Old Testament , Philo, Jesus Christ and his apostles, given the considerrable impact of Jewish thought on the West. I wish Palmer would not have ignored the Neothomist movement nor prominent philosophers such as Jaques Maritain or Etienne Gilson. The book is illustrated by many drawings that are really fun. This is the best introduction to the history of philosophy that I know among those books that are not too boring or too heavy).
As for a systematical introduction to the ideas of philosophy, I can only recommend "Introduction to philosophy", by Norman L Geisler. The author honestly and clearly presents himself as a Christian and also concludes each chapter with a Christian view, yet most systematically brings all points of views on all issues in all chapters, and gives all the arguments and counter-arguments, and also many references. Whereas Palmer's other book "Does the center hold?", is defineltely postmodern/skeptical, yet in a hidden way, which may be misleading for a beginner in the field.
For those who want to read deeper thoughts written by current Professors of philosophy, I can recommend the books of James P Moreland, William Craig and Norman Geisler. (especially Geisler's book on logic: "Come, let us reason"). (these guys are Christians, but brilliant).
I think Palmer's "Looking at philosophy" can bring a lot of enlightenment and fun to the readers and also incite them to embark for some adventure in the philosophical lands. Let us hope they will be willing to read more and explore all these mind-bogling landscapes...
