Review:
"Kenny's prose is lucid and witty. He often deploys literary and historical references to make his points, and the volumes contain charming illustrations, not only of the great philosophers themselves but also of the ideas they grappled with. Overall the effect is to set philosophical thinking in a context of humane learning at once historical and artistic."--Michael Gorman, Fist Things "Kenny's prose is lucid and witty.
