[Justin Evans · Rating 3 out of 5]

Solid intellectual history, if a bit disjointed; this is definitely a study of selected thinkers, rather than a study of how the ideas of the thinkers interacted with each other or, you know, the world. For what it is, though, nicely done, and nicely written to boot. I particularly enjoyed the chapters on the historians. I particularly grew tired of the chapters on the novelists, who just aren't interesting enough to hold anyone's attention.
