First Edition
First Edition. 320 pp.; publisher's cloth. Folio. . designer Edward Wright with ten Compositions by John Piper. FIRST EDITION. 'Wisdom of the West' is an entirely new work; though of course, it would never have appeared had not my 'History of Western Philosophy preceded it. An account of the history of philosophy may proceed in one of two ways. Either the story is purely expository, showing what this man said and how that man was influenced. Alternatively, the exposition may be combined with a certain measure of critical discourse, in order to show how philosophic discussion proceeds.This second course has been adopted here. - To support the account there is a collection of pictures of men, places and documents, which have been chosen as nearly as possible from sources belonging to the period to which they refer. Above all, an attempt had been made, wherever this seemed feasible, to translate philosophic ideas, normally expressed only in words, into diagrams, which convey the same information by way of geometrical metaphor. (Excerpt from Russell's Foreword). Martin 649.01.
