Glyn Hughes at Squashed Philosophers has taken the time to compile condensed (Sorry, squashed) versions of many of the most famous and brilliant philosophical texts, ranging from Plato and Aristotle to Turing and Popper.

The texts are according to Mr. Hughes, meant to be read in one sitting and are a great resource for students and those first taking an interest in philosophy (Such as I). The abridged versions are written as overviews, introductions or reminders, depending of course upon who you are and what you know. We are told the percentage of the original text is in the squash, and how long it ought to take us to read.

A wonderful resource, as I said in different words, for those who need a quick reminder, an introduction or an overview of any of the texts on offer. Squashed Philosophers is one of those things that makes me love the web. A brilliant find - an incredible idea. Thank you Mr. Hughes.
