First published in 1926, The Story of Philosophy is noted historian Will Durant's survey of Western philosophy. Having been described as a groundbreaking work that helped to popularize philosophy, the book begins with detailed descriptions of the philosophical ideas of the ancient Greeks, i.e. Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle. The book then proceeds in chronicling the different philosophical doctrines of French Enlightenment, German Idealism, Pessimism, Existentialism, and concludes with the social, economic, and political philosophers of the last part of the nineteenth and first part of the twentieth century. At the heart of philosophical inquiry are the very important questions of determining right from wrong, of how to structure society equitably, and how to structure one's mind concerning the purpose of one's own life. The Story of Philosophy details the preponderances of some of history's greatest thinkers on these very questions. A popular work on what can be an intimidating subject, The Story of Philosophy provides an accessible and comprehensive introduction to Western philosophy suitable for both the casual reader and class instruction. This edition follows the original 1926 publication and is printed on premium acid-free paper.
