Publisher's Synopsis
''Philosophy' is a word which has been used in many ways, some wider, some narrower. I propose to use it in a very wide sense, which I will now try to explain.' - Bertrand Russell
Nearly forty years since its first publication, History of Western Philosophy remains unchallenged as the ultimate introduction to its subject, while claiming classic status in its own right. It is the bestselling philosophy book of the twentieth century and one of the most important philosophical works of all time. This compact and affordable paperback edition makes this comprehensive and brilliantly-written text readily available for a new generation of readers.
As part of our commitment to Russell publishing, the delux version of this bestselling title will continue to be available.
