Navigating Philosophy: Find your way through big ideas

With the rise of social media and deep fakes, artificial intelligence and virtual reality, the big questions of truth, reality and existence have never felt more relevant. Navigating Philosophy provides the map you need to start exploring some seriously big ideas. 

Fifty quickfire questions lead to ‘short cut’ answers written by experts in their field, helping you to find a way through essential concepts, from ethics to epistemology. 

With one-stop graphics presenting a memorable image for each idea, and route-map glossaries explaining key words and their connections, Navigating Philosophy will guide you through the thoughts of a diverse array of deep thinkers.
