From Socrates to Sartre: The Philosophic Quest

From Socrates to Sartre presents a rousing and readable introduction to the lives, and times of the great philosophers. This thought-provoking book takes us from the inception of Western society in Plato's Athens to today when the commanding power of Marxism has captured one third of the world. The author makes philosophy come alive with astonishing clarity to give us a deeper, more meaningful understanding of ourselves and our times. This book discusses Western philosophers in terms of the historical and intellectual environment which influenced them, and it connects their lasting ideas to the public and private choices we face in America today. 426 pages.
