About the book

All over the globe, in both Western and Eastern traditions, philosophers have searched for answers to lifeʼs fundamental questions.

Discover the life and work of more than 100 philosophers. Find out where and when they lived, review their accomplishments, and understand how they transformed our world. An essential guide to 2,500 years of philosophical endeavor. Learn about ancient philosophy, medieval philosophy, the foundations of modern philosophy, philosophy in Britain and America, Continental philosophy, and Eastern philosophy. See philosophers in the context of their times. Includes highlights of each philosopherʼs life and work, and an analysis of their contribution and legacy.
