This book, in chronological order, and in 27 essays, starting with Thales and ending with Augustine, examines every Ancient World thinker and philosophical school of note. These essays are based on the claim that for us Westerners every contemporary blueprint for living in and interpreting the world has ancient roots, and that these grids, invented mainly between 600 BCE and 400 CE, contain consequential errors that are not addressed. Aside from this, Philosophy is an elite martial art it is strongly suggested you learn. By role playing the devil's advocate in a game of thoughts the weaknesses of an adversary get revealed; it is a lot like chess in that it is not easy to beat you if you practise. The only other requirement for staying in the game is: not committing. That is why Pyrrho washes a pig. Once you turn partisan by taking a side and backing it - you're out, you lose. This book was written in the hope that, having read it, you will be a lot more difficult to trick at thought games.
