Squashed Philosophers

I enjoy philosophy, but I have found that lately my time available for philosophical reading has been a little crunched (can you say "two year old!"). I found the following website gives a condensed oversight of the history of "Western" philosophy (European and U.S.).

Of course, not everyone enjoys philosophy as much as I do, but come on, who could resist a twenty minute abridgement of Ludwig Wittgenstein's Tractatus! For those who like an even broader overview, there is a "very squashed" version that sums the philosopher's perspectives in a single page (if that isn't too much of a slight to a philosopher's life work!).
