The History of Philosophy
The Story of Philosophy is a journey through some of humanity's most challenging minds: Plato, Socrates, Aristotle, Francis Bacon, Spinoza, Descartes, Voltaire, Rousseau, Immanuel Kant, Hegel, Arthur Schopenhauer, Herbert Spencer, Friedrich Nietzsche, among many others.
From these authors, properly contextualised and with subtle references to their interconnectedness, the celebrated American philosopher and historian Will Durant draws an admirable discursive simplicity, making dense material accessible to less experienced readers in these subjects.
Beyond research and theoretical knowledge, Durant actually travelled to the places where these thinkers developed their respective ideas, creating an incredibly detailed cultural map.
The entire sequence of thought in the Western World is summarised by Durant.
