Pulitzer Prize–winning author Will Durant chronicles the lives and ideas of several key philosophical thinkers throughout history in this informative and eminently readable text. Beginning with Socrates and Plato and concluding with Friedrich Nietzsche, with twelve other prominent philosophers in between, the author builds a history of philosophy by showing how each thinker’s ideas informed and influenced the next generation. An essential read for anyone fascinated by the development of Western philosophy.
