What’s the difference? Philosophy: 150 Key Concepts in Philosophy

Crystal-clear explanations of the key philosophy concepts you really need to know. What’s the difference between sarcasm and irony? Or nihilism and fatalism? Or sex and gender? This book is part of a new series and a brand-new approach to popular reference based on the question, ‘What’s the difference?’. Inside, there are crystal-clear explanations of 150 paired words that build into a wide-ranging philosophy primer. Philosophical concepts are explored in pairs to help clarify common (and not-so-common) confusions. Exploring two definitions at the same time cuts to the heart of a topic quickly and clearly so you can avoid those all too frequent conceptual slip-ups. This book helps you to define your terms so you can tell the difference between a chatterbox and a brainbox, a sophist and a sage, and crucially a well-informed argument and a sloppy debate.
