Product Description

Product Description

Bringing together 100 short, accessible snapshots, this text details the people who have shaped western thought, from the ancient Greeks to today. The snapshots, written by the world's leading experts, describe a major thinker's life and work with suggestions for further reading on each one. Covering philosophers and cultural and scientific thinkers, such as Foucault, Darwin, Einstein and Freud, who have had a major impact on philosophy, this book should be of interest to anyone interested in the history of ideas and in contemporary thought.

5.0 out of 5 stars This one not for your average reader, 17 Jul 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Great Thinkers A-Z (Paperback)
This volume came highly recommended by a professional acquaintance. I can honestly say that in the main I found it informative and well written. A couple of items, however, really stood out due to their incisive and scintillating style (I'd likie to read more offerings from the same pen). I refer to the entries on Frege and Kant, for me this book without those items would be a significantly lesser work.
