First published in 1946, History of Western Philosophywent on to become the best-selling philosophy book of the twentieth century. A dazzlingly ambitious project, it remains unchallenged to this day as the ultimate introduction to Western philosophy. Providing a sophisticated overview of the ideas that have perplexed people from time immemorial, it is 'long on wit, intelligence and curmudgeonly scepticism', as theNew York Timesnoted, and it is this, coupled with the sheer brilliance of its scholarship, that has made Russell'sHistory of Western Philosophyone of the most important philosophical works of all time. | History of Western Philosophy by BERTRAND RUSSELL, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
