Zeno and the Tortoise - How to think like a Philosopher

This is an original turn for a philosophy book. It takes a leading image or idea from 25 Western philosophers and expounds it as a technique or insight, for instance Zeno and the Tortoise as a reductio ad absurdum, Hume's fork as a way of skewering nonsense and Derrida and deconstruction on taking ideas apart. The author's knowledge puts the ideas in perspective and he writes racily about the lives as well as the thinking of his subjects. Most enjoyable as an introduction to many key tools of Western philosophy.
