Reseñas


(4.5 stars)

The book is well read. It is a set of biographies of the Greek philosophers, slightly too focused on life and perhaps weak on the description of the doctrines. Fenelon was a catholic priest, but he is balanced (his treatment of Epicurus is extremely sympathetic)


(5 stars)

So easy to listen and learn while busy with other activities.

very fun!
