I want a book that will present an overview of all main philosophical ideas and schools in clear terms, their main representatives in history, arguments for/against them (unbiased ofc), etc. Main goal - to comprehend many of philosophical works that reference others quite a lot, and to be versed in such matters with more or less clear comprehension. Do you know such a book?

Does it includes Hegel and Kant?
Yes
Good, thank you kind stranger!
Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy is probably the closest you will find, but website and not a book.
https://plato.stanford.edu/index.html
>website and not a book.
Gay.
Maybe but it is one of those few sites that manage to give the internet some worth and even suggest that the internet has worth beyond the masturbatory.
What did you expect from such a gay request?
BOOKS
All the books fail in comparison to plato.standford.edu.
It's structuration of information is clearly made for the purpose of reference and searching terms up, not studying. Heckin' alphabetic order? Seriously?
Nah, just start with the greeks. Each author bio ends with who/what they influenced and take you to the next steps along the path forward.
You understand that there is no book that could cover all that right? Why am I fricking falling for your shitty baits frick you
If you can't write such a book it doesen't mean someone else can't.
Nah, no single person could effectively write that, just too broad of a topic. A single person could edit a decent collection but it will be 1000 pages just to give a vague and general idea. The Cambridge History of Philosophy 1945-2015 is 900 pages alone and their entire series on the history of Philosophy (which is essentially what you want) is likely well over 10,000 pages combined if not 20,000 pages. These books are not exactly in depth either, they just give the gist and provide a solid bibliography. Perhaps Philosophy for Dummies is what you want?
Coplestone's A History of Philosophy is the gold standard.

I know it will be good.
