Recenzii
"Shand writes with great clarity and simplicity, with sparing use of jargon. His methods will make it easy for beginners to identify a plausible outline of what is going on in a particular philosopher's arguments, so that they can go on to other books for more detail and for presentation of the problems with some usable idea of which way is up. A useful addition to the first-year reading list." Philosophical Quarterly "A concise and readily surveyable account of the history of Western philosophy . . . it succeeds in being both an illuminating introduction to the history of philosophy for someone who has little prior knowledge of the subject and a valuable source of guidance to the more experienced student." Times Literary Supplement "Succeeds in nimbly tying autonomous episodes of Western thought into a coherent whole ... the selected philosophers and their work are examined rigorously and evenhandedly, including explanations of the standard objections and counterarguments."
