Description

A comprehensive and engaging history of philosophy, spanning from ancient world-views to modern thought, is long overdue. A. C. Grayling's book fills this gap, offering a clear and elegant exploration of the ideas and teachings of influential minds.

From the moralities of ancient Greece to the Renaissance and Enlightenment, and from Christianity's dominance to the philosophy of today, Grayling takes the reader on a journey through the key ideas and debates in philosophy. He also provides a comparative survey of the great philosophical traditions of India, China, and the Persian-Arabic world.

This single-volume history is remarkable for its range and clarity, making it an authoritative and accessible work for both students and philosophy readers. It covers a broad range of topics, including epistemology, metaphysics, ethics, aesthetics, logic, and more, and invites readers to consider what we have learnt from philosophy and what progress is still to be made.
