C. Stephen Evans Unpacks Western Philosophy's Greatest Minds and Movements
Plato. Aristotle. Augustine. Hume. Kant. Hegel.
These names and the philosophies associated with them ring through the minds of every student and scholar of philosophy. And in their search for knowledge, every student of philosophy needs to know the history of the philosophical discourse these philosophical giants have passed down to us.
In A History of Western Philosophy, noted philosopher C. Stephen Evans brings his expertise to this daunting task as he surveys the history of Western philosophy in this textbook. From the Pre-Socratics to postmodernism--and every major figure and movement in between--Evans provides an insightful and comprehensive survey.
In A History of Western Philosophy, you'll find
- an exploration of the major figures and themes of Western philosophy,
- philosophical traditions starting from the time of the Pre-Socratics and ending with Nietzsche and postmodernism, and
- reflections upon important philosophical developments from a Christian perspective.
Evans argues that a true and complete history of Western philosophy shouldalso account for the relationship between philosophical thought and Christian belief because virtually all of the great philosophical thinkers throughout the ancient, medieval, and modern West were deeply interested in questions about God and spiritual realities. This thoughtful approach ensures readers gain not only a historical understanding of philosophy but also a deeper appreciation of how faith and reason have shaped the intellectual heritage of the West.
