Zeno and the Tortoise by Nicholas Fearn

Zeno and the Tortoise explains not just who each philosopher was and what he thought, but exactly how he came to think in the way that he did. Nicholas Fearn presents philosophy as a collection of tools - from Ockham's Razor to Hume's Fork - each of which can be brought to bear on any number of predicaments. Written in twenty-five short chapters, each readable during the journey to work, Zeno and the Tortoise is an ideal course in intellectual self-defence.
Nicholas Fearn, a philosophy graduate from King's College, London, is the author of Philosophy: The Latest Answers to the Oldest Questions, published by Altantic Books in 2005. He also writes for the Spectator, Independent on Sunday, Observer and The Economist. He lives in London.
