History of Western Philosophy by Bertrand Russell - 2004

Routledge/Viva Books/Atlantic/Rupa, 2004. Softcover. New. First published in 1946, History of Western Philosophy went 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 the New York Times noted, and it is this, coupled with the sheer brilliance of its scholarship, that has made Russell`s History of Western Philosophy one of the most important philosophical works of all time. Printed Pages: 780.
