History of Western Philosophy (2 vols) volume 2

The history of Western philosophy is the most famous, fundamental work B. Russell. For the first time published in 1945, this book is a comprehensive study of the development of Western European philosophical thought-from the emergence of Greek civilization until the 20s of the twentieth century. Albert Einstein called it "the work of the highest pedagogical value standing over the conflicts of groups and opinions." Classical Hellas and Rome, Catholic “Church Fathers”, great scholasts, humanist humanists and brilliant philosophers of the New Age - in the monumental work of Russell there is a place for everything to them, and the last chapter of the book is dedicated to his own theory of poetic analysis.
