Wisdom of the West | Bertrand Russell

Pickpick

A concise exploration of much of the philosophy that has been present in the Western intellectual tradition. There are some gaps, and a great number of philosophers that I wish Russell had discussed further.
But, there is a reason why this book is one of the respected authorities on the history of philosophy. Russell presents the subject with wit and intellect that will inform the reader and spark their interest.

"The sum total of what a man knows is vanishingly small. What seems in the end more important is that one should pursue knowledge." - Bertrand Russell
