What Did Philosophers Do?

This book was recommended to Tsinghua students by a teacher from Beijing No. 4 Middle School. Advantages humorous clear logic Various angles insights The most valuable thing is that he is almost divorced from the mainstream values ​​of China and looks at Western philosophy calmly. After reading it, you will definitely know what the meaning of life is. It works better than chicken soup, life insights, best-selling books, and weird courses.

I'm almost finished reading it, and I feel a little reluctant to leave it. The language is humorous, and while it provides rigorous arguments and introductions to the lives of philosophers, it also contains a lot of little gossips that I like to hear and see to enhance the interest. I really admire the author's summary and processing. While retaining the original meaning, it greatly reduces the difficulty of understanding and is suitable for beginners in philosophy. I'll blow it up!

After reading it, I felt warmly moved, like experiencing the time of my high school classmates again, immersed in knowledge, touched by the deeds of some philosophers, enlightened by thinking about a certain issue more deeply, happy for the atmosphere of discussion in the comment area, and happy for having more thoughts in daily life. I like this kind of reading, like the various humorous words spoken by the author, like the shining stars of mankind with various opinions appearing and constantly updating. At the end of the story, we return to reality and encourage each other.

A very good book, ranging from religion to European history and back to philosophical principles. It is really easy to understand and not boring. OK OK

The humorous language, easy-to-understand explanations, vivid and vivid but every word is precise. It is an excellent entrance to understand the history of philosophy. It also made me worship the ancient gods and further enhanced my interest in philosophy.

I want to kneel down to the author, the writing is so good. It solved a lot of my confusion, and the language is also very interesting.

It is easy to understand and allows people to understand the things of philosophers from ancient times to the present. It is very interesting and has a wide range of popular science. I particularly like it. It does not look boring at all. After reading it, I have to read it again and make up my notes.

It's easy to understand and is best eaten with the boss's comments. It introduces a lot about the inheritance of philosophy and the main contributions of famous philosophers. I personally think it is a very suitable introductory book for philosophy novices.

This book is very beautiful What impressed me most is that philosophy likes to make friends with the weak

It's super interesting. It basically talks about the entire history of philosophy, and answers how to find the meaning of life. It's also very interesting. It's very suitable for people with zero philosophical foundation to read [laughing][laughing][laughing]

It's a very good book. I like it very much. After reading it, I am very satisfied that it has no hasty ending and almost no dissatisfaction. What I am most satisfied with is that it did not leave me with any knots. The possible controversial points have also been taken into consideration. In short, it resonates with me. I am very happy that it is more clear than those vague concepts. As a reader, I saw that the comments in the last sentence are almost all in 2025. I am a little surprised and a little moved. I hope more people can read this book.

Very good. Everyone in the commentary is comparable to the ancient sages [laughing]. It seems that now is the era of great explosion of philosophy. If the ancient sages traveled to the present time, they might feel ashamed when they read the comments [laughing]

The best philosophy book I have ever read!

It is a very interesting philosophy book that can give a lot of inspiration. The language is humorous and full of gossip. It is very interesting. It does not feel like a serious book at all (?). I think a popular science book that can be read by outsiders is the best popular science book.

Explain philosophy in a popular way, that is, popular science of philosophy. It is not easy to explain the great masters in the history of philosophy in a true, thorough, comprehensive and interesting way, especially to criticize them in a reasonable and profound way. It's like to a certain extent, the audience's feelings are deeper than the actors' performances! When they play heroes, they share the same hatred, and when they play lovers, they share the sorrow of divorce. Although those stars can't help but have a lot of boring exaggerations. Thank you, author, for explaining the history of philosophy in the cloud. I guess it won't be as eye-catching as lectures in space, but you allowed me to see clearly without a telescope! Thanks again!

It is a very interesting general philosophy book. Originally, I had only heard the names of some philosophers and one or two famous quotes. I had no understanding of the specific views, and the works were obscure and difficult to understand. This book gave me a general understanding. At the same time, I often think about the meaning of life, and I feel that I resonate with Camus very much. Many of my views are the same. Of course, I am not famous and my thoughts are not systematic. Life has no meaning. All meanings are artificially set. Knowledge from ancient times to the present cannot prove a universal value. This is what meaning is. Allow diversity, choose the path you want to take, and bear the corresponding results, whether you like it or not. I think the best way is what the author said at the end. Always think about whether you have any regrets at the end of your life, make up for it now, look straight into your heart, no matter how ugly or good, and maintain your independent will!

A very humorous introductory book on philosophy. During the reading process, I made friends with many philosophers and learned about their daily lives and philosophical opinions. This book begins with Socrates' questions and ends with existentialism, forming a closed loop. Finally, it is concluded that life is meaningless, and the meaning of life lies in the conclusion given by ourselves. Although I didn't get the standard answer I wanted in the end, the process of thinking about the history of philosophy with the author was also very rewarding. This book may be a little less rigorous and subjective, but it is not an academic book, just an introductory book. From this point of view, this book is already very good.

It looks good and the content is easy to understand. I think the depth and depth scale is very suitable for readers who are introductory to philosophy to learn to read. After reading it, you can have a basic and framework understanding of the history of Western philosophy, a good understanding of basic philosophical issues and principles, and at the same time, you can be inspired to think about your own outlook on life and world view.

A humorous history of philosophy. Always look at the ideological achievements of sages with dialectical thinking, understand their perspectives on thinking about problems, and maintain a positive and optimistic attitude. Especially the theological part impressed me deeply and changed my understanding of theology several times. Perhaps philosophy does not need answers, and questions with standard answers are no longer philosophical. Prompting people to think, and this thinking will never end, is the answer of philosophy.

This book is not only a history of philosophy, but also a popular guide to intellectual enlightenment. It does not forcefully instill truth, but allows readers to feel the charm of thinking and understand that philosophy is never a useless study, but the ultimate tool for human beings to fight against confusion and examine themselves. It tears off the "cold and obscure" label of philosophy, uses humorous and straightforward language, and vivid and interesting stories to tell the thousand-year thought process from Socrates to Wittgenstein, as easy and enjoyable as watching a drama. There is no reading threshold, but it has the weight of thought; it is easy to read, but it can make people contemplate. It also tells us that the key to philosophical questions is not the answer, but the process of continuous questioning.

A very interesting book. I saw another side of the philosopher, a strong Socrates who could be a heavy-armored presence on the battlefield. He was different from the gentle scholar we imagined, or the other side of Socrates. I have not finished reading this book yet. I only have these comments. It is a very interesting book.

It increases the breadth of readers' knowledge and systematically summarizes the philosophical essence of major philosophers from ancient times to the present. The vivid and simple language can easily resonate with readers and is thought-provoking! The intersection of philosophy and reality in the article has greatly broadened my horizons. Oh, it turns out that philosophy and religion, literature, politics, science, etc. Are all closely related to each other. In short, I personally feel that the thoughts of spiritual creatures can be called philosophy after being stripped down to the essence. Of course, animals are mostly based on instinct and experience, and are far less bizarre than humans summarize. The transition of the connecting paragraph is also more appropriate, and there are always some interesting points at the end, which arouse the reader's desire to find out. Overall, it is very good!

Quite quite, quite good. Not only is it humorous but also easy to understand, but even if it is a product mixed with personal thoughts and emotions, you have to identify it yourself. However, I feel that saying this is the same as not saying it. If you can't even distinguish and question, what kind of philosophy do you know? It would be nice if the content could be thicker. I don't know if there are any other books.

This is a review in the form of a history of philosophy, showing the origins and perspectives of different schools of thought. After reading it, I gained more insights into this subject of life. But there's also a sense of panic, especially toward the end. I feel that the more I study, the less I understand the world, and I don't know whether it is right to keep studying. Just like what is written in the Tao Te Ching, the more you learn, the farther away you are from the original "nothing".

Nice! Very interesting. I am a person who always reads online articles, and other... Um... Serious books? I can't even read serious books. But this book keeps me reading. Very nice! The story is also good, section by section. Even if you disconnect in the middle, you don't have to worry about having to watch a long content that you have already watched before (in order to understand it).

It is a very interesting and worth reading book. It covers the relationship between philosophy and religion, from Socrates to Nietzsche. It is not boring or boring. The thoughts of each school are explained clearly and the examples are good. It is also humorous. If you are interested in philosophy and think about the meaning of life, it is very suitable to read.

It's very powerful and not that obscure to read. What impressed me the most was the chapters on evolution, which can explain many philosophical thoughts [Like]

After reading it, the book concisely tells the philosophical ideas of the philosopher through interesting stories. It is quite good at introducing various philosophical ideas. It can make most people interested in reading. It also briefly introduces what these philosophical terms and ideas are in a way that is easy for people to understand. Although it is not professional enough, it is still good for newcomers who want to get a preliminary understanding of philosophy.

A readable book. Some of my personal views are slightly different from those of the author, but... Who says this cannot be doubted? [Thinking] As you can see, this is an introduction to a philosophical point of view. The specific evaluation will vary from person to person.

I watched it for nearly a month, from the initial anticipation to the final relief. Life is just like reading a book. The more you expect an answer and the more you want to catch something, the more you will give up in the process of searching. The reason why the problem disappears may not be that you have found the answer, but that you have eliminated the problem itself. The question of why we are alive is very unclear, but the question of why we are not dead is very certain!
