"A welcome addition to the burgeoning literature that strives to
get young people interested in philosophy. Written with an engaging
question-and-answer format and drawing on a huge range of
philosophical sources, the book is especially notable and admirable
for its inclusion of many non-Western thinkers." --Peter Adamson,
author
"Linsenmayer's snappy writing makes difficult ideas accessible.
This text illuminates an impressive number of ideas in a way that
allows readers not only learn them but engage them critically."
--Lawrence Ware, associate director of Center for Africana Studies
and teaching assistant professor at Oklahoma State University
"There has never been a more important time to expose children to
the great ideas. It is never too soon. In a time when truth itself
is being superficially discarded without reasoned arguments,
Linsenmayer arms children with deeper understanding and a highly
accessible survey of the historic sweep of philosophy." --Drew
Pinsky, MD
