30-Second Philosophies

The 50 most thought-provoking philosophies, each explained in half a minute

Barry Loewer

Cogito ergo sum. Cynicism. Dialectical Materialism. Existentialism. The Socratic Method. Everybody knows what they mean. Or thinks they know what they mean. But do you have the back-up? 30-second Philosophies takes a revolutionary approach to getting a grip on the 50 most important and significant schools of philosophy. It challenges a half century of great thinkers to explain the most significant theories of philosophical thought in half a minute, using no more than two pages, 300 words and a metaphorical image.
