Review of 'A History of Western Philosophy' on 'Goodreads'
4 žvaigždutės
For several years this book was on my to-read list and at last, I am happy that I finished it. For someone like me who has never studied philosophy in school/college, this is a great introduction to western philosophy. Over the years I had acquired bits and pieces of information about various philosophical ideas and to see it placed in historical context and meaning is revealing. Russell clearly states his opinion about most of the philosophers and their work, while this might turn off some people who already know a lot about philosophy, for me this was very helpful. Especially his chapters about modern philosophers are very good.
I felt that what once looked formidable from a distance is now looking at least approachable after reading this book. I would recommend this to anyone seeking an introduction to western philosophy.
