A Passion for Wisdom by Robert C Solomon

This is a greatly abridged adaptation of Solomon and Higgins' 1995 OUP publication, A Short History of Philosophy. As in the longer book, the authors offer a guided tour of the full panorama of philosophy. Here, however, they concentrate on a few highlights of world philosophical history, offering the general reader a quick and painless introduction to the world's great philosophers.
"Solomon and Higgins have managed to keep their history clear and understandable, and the newcomer should have no difficulty tracing its development"--Library Journal "Solomon and Higgins have managed to keep their history clear and understandable, and the newcomer should have no difficulty tracing its development."--Library Journal
