About this book

The Portable Philosophy contains excerpts from four major thinkers in the history of philosophy. Erasmus' The Praise of Folly was one of the most influential essays in the Renaissance. Bacon's New Atlantis was a story about the philosophy of science. Berkeley's Three Dialogues was an exercise in idealism. Kierkegaard's Fear and Trembling ushered in a new way of thinking about philosophy and religion and is the progenitor of Existentialism.
