The book of dead philosophers

A bright, accessible and witty language, the book of a popular American philosopher and popularizer of the history of philosophy of Simon Kricli is a collection of short and perfectly written essays about 200 thinkers and covers all the main schools of thought, starting from classical Greek and Chinese scientists and ending with Christian saints and theorists of the current days. In his characteristic provocative and entertaining manner, Krichili shares interesting stories both about what the philosophers about death and how exactly they died. The descriptions given by them do not set only to entertain us (although, of course, they succeed) This book, which is a kind of collection of biographies, is very different from the edifying volumes of popular philosophy not only by the degree of accessibility of information, but also by the scale of coverage
