He is colorful, witty, and above all, informative. Beginning with Socrates and ending with American philosopher John Dewey, Durant summarizes the lives and influence of philosophy's greatest thinkers, painting them with humanity and adding a few of his own wise platitudes. Seventy-some years after its first printing, <i>The Story of Philosophy</i> still stands as one of the best of its kind. 32011 1926 The Story of Philosophy total:656|5:232|4:238|3:144|2:35|1:7| 656 2621 1064 76 5 3 false false Mon Feb 04 04:35:28 -0800 2008 Wed Feb 06 01:41:49 -0800 2008 more...]]> 5 3 false false Sat Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Mon Jul 09 15:22:33 -0700 2007 Sat Sep 15 10:23:37 -0700 2007 more...]]> 5 0 true false Sun Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 1982 Thu May 07 10:38:43 -0700 2009 Thu May 07 10:49:46 -0700 2009 1 more...]]> 4 0 false false Mon Aug 24 21:40:57 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 24 21:50:30 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 1 false false Sun Jun 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Thu Apr 16 09:11:49 -0700 2009 Sun May 31 07:32:15 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sun Feb 08 02:32:06 -0800 2009 Sun Feb 08 02:36:07 -0800 2009 more...]]> 5 1 false false Wed Apr 15 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Mar 23 10:39:25 -0700 2009 Mon Jun 29 16:11:19 -0700 2009 ...more...]]> 5 0 false false Sat Aug 23 15:15:13 -0700 2008 Sat Aug 23 15:23:00 -0700 2008 از افلاطون شروع كرده و ارسطو و علم يوناني را توضيح داده از فرانس�...more...]]> 3 0 false false Wed Feb 20 09:49:49 -0800 2008 Tue Feb 26 18:24:59 -0800 2008 more...]]> 5 2 false true Sat Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2005 Fri Feb 08 17:42:33 -0800 2008 Fri Mar 14 16:09:47 -0700 2008
