Product Description
"This book is not a complete history of philosophy. It is an attempt to humanize knowledge by centering the story of speculative thought around certain dominant personalities." (Author's note) Selected philosophers are: Plato, Aristotle and Greek Science, Francis Bacon, Spinoza, Voltaire and the French Enlightenment, Immanuel Kant and German Idealism, Schopenhauer, Herbert Spencer, Friedrich Nietzsche, Contemporary European Philosophers (Henri Bergson, Benedetto Croce, Bertrand Russell), Contemporary American Philosophers (George Santayana, William James, John Dewey). The thought and legacy of these philosophers is viewed through the eyes of a noted historian.
