Summary: The best introduction to Baudrillard's thought
Comment: Ignore the above - like all the books in the Introducing series, this is an exceptionally coherent and successful overview. The format is particularly appropriate and successful in the case of Baudrillard, and it is possible for the intelligent reader to grasp all his key ideas. The best introduction to his thought.
Rating: 4
Summary: [price] worth spending
Comment: The "Introducing" series are very effective in my view because they both go in depth with the critical theories or foundations of a certain thinker and go through their less significant points. I think seeing all the points without sustaining all belief into the ideas of a person like Baudrillard is great by not getting too caught up in their claims. "Introducing Baudrillard" compares his significance as a thinker to other contemporary and past philosophy very well and being familiar with the intensity of Baudrillard's claims is well worth the time and money.

Summary: Unhealthy Pretentious Chaos
Comment: Like most of the Totem Introducing series, I thought Introducing Baudrillard was going to be not quite in depth and truely lacking. Where Introducing Postmodernism was medicore but attempted to go in depth, Introducing Baudrillard is consistently shallow.
My main gripe is the lack of clearity, and it's illogical plot of Baudrillard's philosophical development. And the way book is written is flat out horrible, which makes the whole read incomprehrensible.
If your an undergrad student looking to learn about contemporary and postmodern philosophy like myself, well FORGET INTRODUCING BAUDRILLARD!
