This important work is the first history of philosophy in a single volume. An engaging overview, written with great clarity and a touch of humor. The history of philosophy is an epic narrative: an exploration of the ideas, opinions, and teachings of some of humanity's most creative minds. The work covers, with characteristic clarity and elegance, topics such as epistemology, metaphysics, ethics, logic, and the philosophy of mind, as well as the history of discussions in these fields, through the ideas of distinguished philosophers and lesser-known influential thinkers. The History of Philosophy takes the reader on a journey from the time of Buddha, Confucius, and Socrates. Through the dominance of Christianity in European thought, to the Renaissance and the Enlightenment. It then examines Mill, Nietzsche, Sartre, as well as the philosophical traditions of India, China, and the Persian-Arab world. And finally, to philosophy today.
