The Story of Philosophy outlines the contributions made by each great thinker to human knowledge, and follows the progress of some of the greatest debates about civilization. Featuring specific information on the ideas of Plato, Aristotle, Bacon, Spinoza, Voltaire, Kant, Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, Russell, Santayana and many others, the Story of Philosophy presents our intellectual history in clear, unpretentious terms, and belongs in every home.
