Zeno and the Tortoise

A witty and irreverent guide to the key ideas and methods of the world's greatest thinkers. Zeno and the Tortoise explains not just who each philosopher was and what he thought, but exactly how he came to think in the way that he did. Nicholas Fearn presents philosophy as a collection of tools - from Ockham's Razor to Hume's Fork - each of which can be brought to bear on any number of predicaments. Written in twenty-five short chapters, each readable during the journey to work, Zeno and the Tortoise is an ideal course in intellectual self-defence.

Nicholas Fearn, a philosophy graduate from King's College, London, writes for the Spectator, New Statesman,Independent on Sunday and Financial Times. His previous books, Zeno and the Tortoise and Philosophy: The Latest Answers to the Oldest Questions were both published by Atlantic Books. He lives in London.
