Hi. Im 15 years of age, but I am quite interested in Philosophy. I've never really taken a keen interest in ancient philosophers, such as Aristotle and Socrates, nor to say I have read anything into more modern ones like Hume.
But does anyone have a website that could introduce me to these philosophers IN A NUTSHELL. There's tons of info out there, but most of it is jargon - I just want something that explains them to a very beginner to even the simplest of philosophy. Any other sites, with simple stuff on ethics e.g. abortion, or any sites that look into an array of such topics whilst can be understood easily would also be appreciated.
Thanks

This might help. It's very refreshing to see someone of your age showing this type of interest. Good luck in your pursuit.

The simplest explanation of western philosophy is not quite a nutshell, but it is simple and very good. It is a book called "The Passion of the Western Mind," by William Tarnas. Google him.
