Summary

Philosophers have always enjoyed asking awkward and provocative questions, such as:
What is the nature of reality?
What are human beings really like?
What is special about the human mind and consciousness?
Are we free to choose who we are and what we do?
Can we prove that God exists?
Can we be certain about anything at all?
What is truth?
Does language provide us with a true picture of the world?
How should we behave towards each other?
Do computers think?


Introducing Philosophy is a comprehensive graphic guide to the thinking of all the significant philosophers of the Western world from Heraclitus to Derrida. It examines and explains their key arguments and ideas without being obscure or solemn. Lively and accessible, it is the perfect introduction to philosophers and philosophical ideas for anyone coming to the subject for the first time.

    The mental and physical benefits of reading bedtime stories are now widely recognized. Kids get better at imagining things because they have to interpret a story when it's read aloud. 
    Children learn the power of their imagination, which helps them become independent readers later on with books that don't have pictures because their dreams are developed enough to draw them in. 
    This book was created with both parents and children in mind. Its mission is to eliminate the nightly battle of bedtime, find the rest that parents need, and give children healthy, natural development and a great attitude through unique and stimulating stories that guide them through a peaceful bedtime experience. 
    This is a fantastic book to have at home, enjoy with your kids, or give it as a gift.  
    These are just some examples of what your kid should experience to have a good night's sleep. 
    So, if your child has trouble sleeping or you want to improve the bedtime experience, then this book is right for you!

    It dawned on us that if we bring up our children to become good and noble people, there is a big chance that they will do the same in the future. They will pass the love they got from us on to their children, who will then do the same, and so on… 
    Fenek is our life. You can join Fenek’s family and spread the good.
