The lives and thoughts of the great philosophers, from Plato to Dewey, are brilliantly and succinctly described.

Few authors are as adept at writing for non-specialists as Will Durant, and this book is a wonderful illustration of his scholarly work that is extremely enjoyable. The Story of Philosophy is a crucial work for anybody who wants to study the history and evolution of philosophical ideas in the Western world. Durant's intelligence and wit never fail to astound.
