Philosophical Tales: Being an Alternative History Revealing the Characters, the Plots, and the Hidden Scenes That Make Up the True Story of Philosophy by Martin Cohen, Raúl Gonzalez III

galateadoesbooks's review against another edition

4.0

tends to get a few things wrong here and there (claiming that Steven Pinker is a philosopher, claiming that cognitive scientists don't believe in consciousness), but the main thrust of the book is that philosophers are people just like any other, with all the flaws and quirks that entails, and this book does rather well in expositing that idea

British smarminess. Not at its best, either. All in all, not very satisfying.
