Story of Philosophy (Touchstone Books)
by Will Durant

Story of Philosophy (Touchstone Books) Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

A brilliant and concise account of the lives and ideas of the great philosophers — Plato, Aristotle, Bacon, Spinoza, Voltaire, Kant, Schopenhauer, Spencer, Nietzsche, Bergson, Croce, Russell, Santayana, James and Dewey — The Story of Philosophy is one of the great books of our time. Few write for the nonspecialist as well as Will Durant, and this book is a splendid example of his eminently readable scholarship. Durant's insight and wit never cease to dazzle; The Story of Philosophy is a key book for any reader who wishes to survey the history and development of philosophical ideas in the Western world.
