Krátký popis
The story of philosophy is an epic tale: an exploration of the
ideas, views and teachings of some of the most creative minds known
to humanity. But since the long-popular classic, Bertrand Russell's
History of Western Philosophy, first published in 1945, there has
been no comprehensive and entertaining, single-volume history of
this great intellectual journey.With his characteristic clarity and
elegance A. C. Grayling takes the reader from the world-views and
moralities before the age of the Buddha, Confucius, and Socrates,
through Christianity's dominance of the European mind, to the
Renaissance and Enlightenment, and on to Mill, Nietzsche, Sartre,
and philosophy today. And, since the story of philosophy is
incomplete without mention of the great philosophical traditions of
India, China and the Persian-Arabic world, he gives a comparative
survey of them too.Accessible for students and eye-opening for
philosophy readers, he covers epistemology, metaphysics, ethics,
aesthetics, logic, the philosophy of mind, the philosophy of
language, political philosophy and the history of debates in these
areas of enquiry, through the ideas of the celebrated philosophers
as well as less well-known influential thinkers. He also asks what
we have learnt from this body of thought, and what progress is
still to be made.The first authoritative and accessible one-volume
history of philosophy for decades, remarkable for its range and
accessibility, this is a landmark work.
