N1  - Abstract: "The Story of Philosophy gives not only the ideas and philosophical systems of such world-famous "monarchs of the mind" as Plato, Aristotle, Francis Bacon, Spinoza, Kant, Voltaire, Locke, and others of similar stature, but their flesh-and-blood biographies. Not only the titans of older days but the most famous modern philosophers are here presented and illuminated -- including Bergson, Croce, Russell, and Dewey. The book also examines the philosophers' setting in their own time and place, and their influence on our modern intellectual heritage. These pages are packed with wisdom and winged with wit. Here, in one book for the layman, is a whole university course in philosophy, written in Durant's unique, lively, and concise style."--Publisher's website.; Contents: Plato.- Aristotle.- Francis Bacon.- Spinoza.- Voltaire.- Immanuel Kant.- Schopenhauer.- Herbert Spencer.- Friedrich Nietzsche.- Henri Bergson.- Benedetto Croce.- Bertrand Russell.- George Santayana.- William James.- John Dewey.
