Über diesen Titel

Críticas

"The book is clear, astute, and rightly self-confident. It surveys all of the central and fundamental history of philosophy, but comes close enough to the great arguments and doctrines to introduce them effectively to a questioning reader. Plato, Hume, Wittgenstein, and the other makers of philosophy appear as they were, not as types of thinkers, but individual thinkers. What they believed and why is brought firmly into view." Ted Honderich, Grote Professor of the Philosophy of Mind and Logic, University College London.

Reseña del editor

Whether John Shand is discussing the slow separation of philosophy and theology in Augustine, Aquinas and Ockham, the rise of rationalism, British empiricism, German idealism, or the new approaches opened up by Russell, Sartre, and Wittgenstein, he combines succinct but insightful exposition with crisp critical comment. This new edition will continue to provide students with a valuable work of initial reference.
