The story of philosophy can be an epic tale: an exploration of the ideas, views and teachings of some of the most creative thoughts recognized to humanity. But since the long-popular traditional Bertrand Russell’s Background of Western School of thought, first published in 1945, there’s been no extensive and amusing, single-volume history of the great intellectual journey.

With his about The History of Philosophy characteristic clarity and elegance A. C. Grayling takes the reader from your world-views and moralities before the age of the Buddha, Confucius and Socrates, through Christianity’s dominance of the Western european mind towards the Renaissance and Enlightenment, and to Mill, Nietzsche, Sartre, and viewpoint today. And, because the tale of school of thought is imperfect without reference to the great philosophical traditions of India, China and the Persian-Arabic world, he provides comparative survey of them too.

Intelligible for students and eye-opening for idea readers, he covers epistemology, metaphysics, ethics, aesthetics, logic, the philosophy of mind, the beliefs of language, politics philosophy and the history of debates in these areas of enquiry, through the tips from the celebrated philosophers aswell as less well-known influential thinkers. He also asks what we’ve learnt from this body of believed, and what progress is still to be made.

The first authoritative and accessible single-volume history of philosophy for decades, remarkable for its range and clarity, that is a landmark work.
