Reviews

[Katia N · Rating 4 out of 5]

Very solid, but not dry history of the Western philosophy. The strong point is lengthy, but relevant quotes from the original texts; short, but interesting bio introductions and the scope. In this volume, the most fascinating players for me were Leibniz, Spinoza, Hume and Kant. But the "discovery" was how different were the views of the main characters of French Enlightenment ie Russo, Voltaire, Diderot, Montesquieu. all that lot. I remember them from the university as more or less one big person with a set of of pretty standard views. But in reality there were so different from each other. Plus each of them has had a very interesting and unusual life it seems. My ignorance, in short.
