THE GREAT PHILOSOPHERS
Book ID/图书代码: 00657005B12047
English Summary/英文概要: Philosophy has been under way for more than two thousand years. The Great Philosophers traces the biggest and most influential thoughts in philosophy’s long stride through history, beginning with the Ancient Greeks and Early Romans, the first philosophical thinkers in the West, to whom much is owed.
How their concerns became the concerns of those who followed is clearly laid out, as is the way their answers shaped what we now recognize as philosophy. The medieval philosophers are also represented, combining their religious concerns with ancient thought and carrying it into the Renaissance. The modern era, the explosion of philosophy sparked by Descartes, is well represented here too. Founders and representatives of both rationalist and empiricist schools make an appearance, as do philosophy’s sceptics, with their often-darker conclusions.
Philosophy’s long walk continues, and you will find here the thoughts which make its contemporary form what it is, and perhaps what it is on the way to becoming. Philosophy is very much still under way, and The Great Philosophers pays regard to both the discipline as it is practised now, and to the history which made contemporary philosophy possible.
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 哲学已经存在超过二千年。《伟大的哲学家》沿着历史的轨迹追寻最伟大和最有影响力的哲学思想,从西方的第一位哲学思想家古希腊人和早期的罗马人开始。
他们的忧虑如何成为后来追随的那些人的担忧,他们的答案塑造我们现在对哲学的认识。中世纪的哲学家们也呈现了,将他们的宗教问题与古代思想结合,并将它带到文艺复兴时期。当今时代,引发爆炸的笛卡尔哲学的代表出现了。理性主义和经验主义的学术创始人和代表作为哲学的怀疑论者,以他们往往较暗的结论出现。
哲学将继续走下去,你会发现是思想还原了其当代形式,以及也许它将成为的方式。哲学在很大程度上仍在进行,《伟大的哲学家》注意到其现在在实行的原则,以及让当代哲学成为可能的历史。(LNL)

《伟大的哲学家》超越了传记,详细的呈现了每一派哲学,更解释了学术问题。三十位伟大的哲学家,从苏格拉底到福柯,以演示和探索他们思想的方式单独呈现。书中还有一个分析哲学的定义和它的意义的介绍。每个哲学家的思想以一种对话的语气讨论,有时甚至是社论的。然而,读者还提供了深思熟路和清晰的哲学描述。传记材料只是简要的提及,但最关注的是他们的思想。学习这些哲学家的高年级学生可能会发现该书是对他们的研究的有力补充。该系列会非常适合做中学的收藏。受过高等教育的读者会发现它们是研究论文的有用资源。这本特别的书比该系列中的其他书在题材和表现方面更领先,也非常适合大学图书馆。物理上,这些书是比大多数书稍高一点(约一英寸),可能不适合摆放在没有特别制作的书架上。(历史上伟人)评论:维多利亚•沃格尔;年龄15至18。
学校图书馆期刊——这些书提供简明而全面的传记。领导人致力于传播54个科目的介绍;它们或多或少有组织的按时间顺序排列:“政治家“,”军事指挥官”,”改革者“,“民族解放者”和“革命”。然而,年表在解放者部分从上往下排,从甘地到纳尔逊曼德拉,其次是祖鲁和昂山素姬。在斯汤鲁姆和加维卷中,29个哲学家用满载信息的四页纸进行了介绍。侧边栏强调主要的作品。在这两本书中都有每一个人物从出生到死亡的照片或肖像。进一步的照片和插图为密密麻麻的文字添加风味。小人物,如潘克赫斯特,激进的英国妇女参政党,威廉杰姆斯和实用主义的创始人和知名人物如托马斯•杰佛逊和苏格拉底混合在一起。总体而言,书虽然简短但都是报告作者的好的出发点。——卡拉汉-安妮,拉辛的公共图书馆
