An introduction to philosophy, comprised of 15 significant scenes in the history of Western philosophy.

The author, Dr. Kim Jae-in, research professor at Kyung Hee University who obtained a Ph.D. in Deleuze studies, compiled the book by supplementing the content broadcasted on the podcast 'Philosophy's Great Scenes.'

Covering a wide range of periods from ancient Greece, with figures like Thales, to modern figures like Michel Foucault, the author explains the core ideas and backgrounds of each philosopher. Additionally, he organizes information in a question-and-answer format, addressing topics that readers may find intriguing.

Defining philosophy as "the study of thought" and "the practical application of thought in resistance to all forces seeking to enslave life," the author advises that to triumph in the "battle of thought," one must read philosophical works.
