This book which has the biographies of several philosophers has mixed opinions on goodreads but I liked it. People wanted more to know more about the philosophers' ideas. I liked just getting the gist and reading about their biographies. There's a lot of people who got exiled here and some eccentrics too. I was also surprised at the number of mathematicians and scientists among the thinkers. I was pleased with the contribution of female thinkers. I especially found the story of Heloise and Peter Abelard intriguing. There's also plenty of paragraphs written about minor philosophers. I enjoyed reading this.
