Non-fiction book review - Big Thinkers and Big Ideas

Big Thinkers and Big Ideas by Sharon Kaye

There are some ideas that we tend to think are too big for kids: politics, physics, philosophy, etc. So when I encounter kid's books on one of these topics, curiosity drives me to read it. And they have yet to disappoint me. This particular book gives us the bare bones introduction to a variety of philosophical approaches, major figures in the field, and both supporters and detractors. Finally, we get an idea to reflect upon. Kaye helps the reader explore each approach and find the philosophy that makes the most sense to each individual. Given that most of us get little to no education in philosophy, this entry level introduction is invaluable.
