...this is a short history of Greek philosophy. That is exactly all that it is. The title pretty much explains everything you need to know about this book. It is a very informative and entertaining read, however it seems from the style this book is set up, that it is most likely an Internet article on the subject of Greek philosophy. If that is the case, than you may choose to look for this online. I will say, however that I have done just that and I have never found as much reliable information, as this book/article holds. Look, it's free, it's good for what you need it for, and it's typo-free. Pick it up!
