[set of two volumes]

Considered one of the most important philosophical works of all time. It critically presents all philosophers and their theories, in relation to the political and social conditions of each era from antiquity to the present day.
It is divided into three sections: The first deals with Ancient Greek Philosophy (Presocratics, Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Ancient Philosophy after Aristotle), the second with Catholic philosophy (Fathers and Scholastics), and the third with Modern Philosophy (from the Renaissance to Hume and from Rousseau to the present day). It is the definitive work on philosophy and the best introduction to a serious study of it.
