The Idler Guide to Ancient Philosophy by Mark Vernon
Everything you needed to know about classical Greek philosophy and philosophers in one handy, readable and easily digestible package. Ideal for those who like to shout the answers at bemused University Challenge students or to question the odd know-it-all at dinner parties, it also comes with its own one-minute guide to the different schools of philosophy should you need to sort your Stoics from your Cynics. All in all a concise, amusing and intriguing primer.
