Description: DK Publishing is best known and loved for its travel books, full of phenomenal photos, scale drawings, and an eyewitness vibe. Magee is an acknowledged expert on Western civilization's greatest thinkers. Now, DK and Magee have partnered... with stunning success. This extraordinary tome is like a coffee table book in its beauty and quality; like a textbook in its scholarly range, depth, and breadth; and like a TV special in its spectacular presentation techniques. Every single page is full of gorgeous photos and illustrations, yet the accompanying narrative is equally riveting. And though the book is the history of philosophy and thinkers, it incorporates the intricate historical, political, and cultural developments which accompanied and affected each period's philosophical leanings. First up: western civilization's philosophers: Plato, Socrates, The Sceptics, etc.; then on through Christianity (Saint Augustine, Medieval Philosophers) and the beginnings of modern science. Next: the Rationalists, the Empiricists, the Golden era of German philosophy. And finally, Democracy, 20th Century Frege and Modern Logic and Linguistic Philosophy and Existentialism. It includes a Glossary, Guide to further Reading, and Index, and Acknowledgements. You'll never miss another jeopardy question!
