Book Review: Why There is Something Rather Than Nothing, Leszek Kolakowski



This is a wonderful and very readable book. It is a long way from the dry and jargon ridden books on philosophy that I had to endure at college. It is written with the general reader in mind and with beautiful economy, clarifies questions raised by the great philosophers. I found it a particularly useful resource to understand philosophical approaches to human motivation.

As the book is divided neatly into chapters for each great philosopher, it is easy to skip the material you don't find as relevant and move on.

It is a book that promotes thoughtful reflection and that has to be a useful thing in this day and age.

What's it all about?
