Penguin Great Ideas Collection

The famous Great Ideas series has sold extraordinary numbers since its launch, bringing the thoughts of some of humanity's most remarkable minds into easy reach. This boxed set brings together some of the bestselling titles in the series: ideas--sometimes 2000 years old or more--which still speak to and inspire us. Many of the authors here disagreed with each other, others were inspired by the earlier writers. It is for each reader to enjoy, argue with, be infuriated by these books: and so come to their own view of how we live and why.
