reviewed Looking At Philosophy: The Unbearable Heaviness of Philosophy Made Lighter on April 05, 2011 Looking At Philosophy
I had to purchase this book for a humanities class my first semester of college. At the time I thought that I would never read this book unless it was assigned for homework. Then I picked it up one day to help with a paper in another class and I didn't put it down until I finished it. Donald Palmer takes the heavy and sometimes confusing philosophies of all the great philosophers since sixth and fifth centuries B.C.E. up to Post-Structuralism (from Thales to Irigary) and makes it understandable. Palmer puts the philisophies into words that anyone can comprehend. He also includes cartoons and diagrams that better assist in his explinations. A sense of humor comes out in his work that makes reading this book enjoyable as well as educational.
Palmer has inspired me to attempt writing my own version/understanding of theories or philosophies. Even in my papers for my classes I incorporate a sense of humor along with a simpler wording (what I understood) of the subject.
