The Consolations of Philosophy的评论   

　　I have little knowledge of philosophy.
　　That little knowledge of it mainly comes from the limited education through high school... you know, biased and constantly being told we should be overwhelmed by and admire only Marxism.
　　
　　What I love about this book is how Alain describes philosophy effortlessly, and with tastes. He tells the tales of the great philosopher as though introducing us to a group of new friends we could hang around, encouraging us to get to know them through a series of interesting events yet still reserve our own careful criticism.
　　
　　A true gem, reachable, polished by a man full of wisdom.
