| Description: |
A. C. Grayling takes the reader from the world-views and moralities before the age of the Buddha, Confucius and Socrates, through Christianity's dominance of the European mind to the Renaissance and Enlightenment, and on to Mill, Nietzsche, Sartre, and philosophy today. And, since the story of philosophy is incomplete without mention of the great philosophical traditions of India, China and the Persian-Arabic world, he gives a comparative survey of them too.
Through the ideas of the celebrated philosophers as well as less well-known influential thinkers, Grayling covers epistemology, metaphysics, ethics, aesthetics, logic, the philosophy of mind, the philosophy of language, political philosophy and the history of debates in these areas of enquiry. He also asks what we have learnt from this body of thought, and what progress is still to be made.
For philosophy readers, this is an accessible single-volume history of philosophy remarkable for its range and clarity. |
