Philosophers have always enjoyed asking awkward and provocative questions, such as: What is the nature of reality? What are human beings really like? This book is a comprehensive graphic guide to the thinking of various philosophers of the Western world from Heraclitus to Derrida. It examines and explains their key arguments and ideas.
Here, Richard Sennett examines the relationship between the human body and the urban environment it inhabits, looking at the different attitudes to nudity, burial, sanctuary and urban planning in ancient Greece and Rome, and Medieval and Renaissance Europe.
