    The History of Philosophy

    By
    A. C. Grayling
    Penguin Books Ltd
    'A cerebrally enjoyable survey, written with great clarity and
    touches of wit . . . The non-western section throws up some
    fascinating revelations'
    Sunday Times

    The story of philosophy is an epic tale: an exploration of the ideas,


    views and teachings of some of the most creative minds known to
    humanity. But there has been no comprehensive and entertaining,
    single-volume history of this great intellectual journey since 1945.

    With his characteristic clarity and elegance 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.

    Intelligible for students and eye-opening for philosophy readers, he


    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,
    through the ideas of the celebrated philosophers as well as less well-
    known influential thinkers. He also asks what we have learnt from
    this body of thought, and what progress is still to be made.

    The first authoritative and accessible single-volume history of


    philosophy for decades, remarkable for its range and clarity, this is a
    landmark work.
