An accessible interpretation of the subject of philosophy from a world-renowned philosopher and author offers readers a fundamental introduction to the history of ideas and human thought from around the world An accessible interpretation of the subject of philosophy from a world-renowned philosopher and author offers readers a fundamental introduction to the history of ideas and human thought from around the world. 12,500 first printing. Thoughtfully balanced and living up to the publisher's reputation for attractive presentation, this reference traces 2,500 years of Western philosophy from the ancient Greeks to modern thinkers. It makes themes and important figures accessible to general readers, with enough substance for more experienced students. Text is interspersed with abundant, well-chosen art reproductions illustrating concepts and themes, as well as photos, sidebars, and quotes that help set the context. Suggesting that readers next tackle the great philosophers themselves, the guide to further reading identifies particular works and editions and also lists some convenient and accessible introductions and overviews.
