"What Vlach has done with his new publication is take 101 very complicated ideas and give enough information about each one to generate a big picture in the reader’s mind, and perhaps spark a curiousity that would lead to further study. At once informative and easy to read, Philosophy 101 is a book any philosophy student will find helpful."   --Zach Freeman, Blogger News Network

Here it is! Avoiding technical jargon and drawn-out complicated explanations, Vlach offers a succinct readable summary of philosophy that beginning students will enjoy. 

 

Using interesting information and examples from his college level Introduction to Philosophy courses, Vlach directs the reader to the 101 most important topics in philosophy and explains, in easy-to-understand language, why those topics are so important. The result—a Philosophy 101 education.

 

Especially helpful are the “Big Idea” summaries before each entry that get at the heart of what the person or concept at hand is all about. For those looking for an understandable introduction to philosophy, Philosophy 101: The “Big Idea” for the 101 Most Important People and Concepts in Philosophy is must reading.
