ReviewsA delight. It is written with both wit and scholarship, providing a wonderful overall picture of Western philosophy up to the Renaissance. -- Sir Roger Penrose [Gottlieb] writes with fluency and lucidity, with a gift for making even difficult matters seem comprehensible. -- Richard Jenkins (New York Times) Gottlieb is as enjoyable as he is intellectually stimulating. -- Robert Conquest (Los Angeles Times) Supplants all others, even the immensely successful History of Western Philosophy by Bertrand Russell. -- A. C. Grayling (Independent)

Essential reading
I’ve read loads of philosophy books, and consider this one essential reading. Easy to read but never dumbed down. Start here and gain the confidence to say “yes, I get that” or “yes, I was wondering the same thing”. Buy it !Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
