DESCRIPTION
Understanding Philosophy is an explanation of what philosophy means and a concise history of its major figures and ideas up-to-date. The book traces the theories of all the important philosophers from the beginning of recorded ideas and Greek philosophers through the era of religious philosophy, the ideas at work in the material world and the triumph of science, to the great philosophers of Europe and America up to the present. It explains the relationship of the philosophers to the societies they lived in and helped to shape. Written by a noted philosopher, this book is an ideal guide to all the significant attempts that man has made to arrive at the meaning of things in the ancient and modern world.
