The Story of Philosophy

The lives and thoughts of western philosophers woven into history. The author describes the lives of the philosophers and the influences on their thinking, their philosophies and compares them to earlier and contemporary thinkers. He adds insight through documenting public criticisms and finally adds his own personal thoughts. Well written with good flow and continuity. The author only superficially mentions eastern thought and weighs his own opinion heavily (see his comments on Stoicism). The distinction between the authour's thought and the philosopher's thought is occasionally blurred by the authors style. Well written, thoughtful, very interesting and fairly easy ro read.

this book is so infectious! and clear i recommend this book for people who enjoys philosophy or curious about it.

i bought the paperback and it has very small paper size hard to read

Es un libro amable sobre la historia de la filosofía para personas comunes

Amazing, I wish I had this book as I was studying in School! It's just wonderful and has made me really enjoy this subject, which for some reason isn't NUMBER ONE in our current Education system.
