<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>His book...supplant[s] all others, even the immensely successful <em>History of Western Philosophy</em> by Bertrand Russell.--A. C. Grayling<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Already a classic, this landmark study of early Western thought now appears in a new edition with expanded coverage of the Middle Ages. This landmark study of Western thought takes a fresh look at the writings of the great thinkers of classic philosophy and questions many pieces of conventional wisdom. The book invites comparison with Bertrand Russell's monumental <em>History of Western Philosophy</em>, but Gottlieb's book is less idiosyncratic and based on more recent scholarship (Colin McGinn, <em>Los Angeles Times</em>). A <em>New York Times</em> Notable Book, a <em>Los Angeles Times</em> Best Book, and a <em>Times Literary Supplement</em> Best Book of 2001.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>[Gottlieb] writes with fluency and lucidity, with a gift for making even difficult matters seem comprehensible.--Richard Jenkins "New York Times"<br><br>Gottlieb is as enjoyable as he is intellectually stimulating.--Robert Conquest "Los Angeles Times"<br><br>Supplants all others, even the immensely successful History of Western Philosophy by Bertrand Russell.--A.
