The easy to read and understand texts in this book provide the young reader and adults alike with a comprehensive overview of a particular period in time that has deeply impacted the development of western culture.

From the time humans first walked the earth we´ve been trying to unravel the mysteries of the universe. This book introduces to teenagers all over the globe the fantastic four of ancient Greece, Thales, Anaximander, Anaximenes, and Heraclitus. They sought to understand the meaning of life looking for answers in the four elements: earth, fire, water, and air. Their line of thought might seem, at least, strange for today´s standards, but they were pivotal to the birth of philosophical thinking. Excellent book for reading in the classroom with the teacher as a facilitator or alone, by oneself.

The magic square A book about the passion for knowledge, truth, and freedom presented in a lively way that makes this riveting subject accessible to all teenagers. Just as it is expected young adults learn to do, each philosopher would look at life through his own eyes. Pythagoras came to the conclusion that everything is made up of numbers. Philolaus, a Pythagorean, would go as far as saying that even God is a number and Diogenes despised mathematics, human nature, and its desires. They are considered the last pre-Socratic philosophers and are in this book promoting the striking encounter between numbers and dreams. Excellent book for reading in the classroom with the teacher as a facilitator or alone, by oneself. Pages: 48 ISBN: 978-85-249-1327-3
All I know is that I know nothing The book takes a fresh look at philosophy by bringing theater and history together and making each character much more relatable to teenagers. The book reads pretty much like a play and on center stage the young reader will find the three protagonists of this marvelous spectacle of life: Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle leading them to look over concepts such as ethics, purpose, education, nature and science. This is an excellent book for reading in the classroom with the teacher as a facilitator or alone, by oneself.
