Book Reviews of The Consolations of Philosophy
Book Review: A Gateway Book
Summary: 5 Stars
I don't care if it is philosophy for dummies, as some say -- I love this book and dip into for consolation as needed. Even better, it has sparked a deeper interest in philosophy, and I've been reading further. There's nothing wrong with making something accessible to the masses. Philosophy belongs to everyone and De Botton offers a way in to those of us who might not have taken the plunge otherwise.
