The Philosophers' Library features the most important philosophy
manuscripts and books as stepping stones to take your through the
history of philosophy. By cataloguing the history of philosophy via
its key works, this book reflects the physical results of human
thinking and endeavour; brilliant thought manifested in titles that
literally changed the course of knowledge, sometimes by increments,
and sometimes with revolutionary impact. From the very earliest
recorded works of Ancient Egyptian thought, through Ancient Greece
and Rome, tracing the origins of Chinese philosophy and the
emergence of Bhuddism, through the Renaissance and Enlightenment in
Europe, the emergence of Liberalism, Nihilism, Communism and
Fascism in the 19th and 20th Centuries, and right into the
post-postmodern present, this book takes readers on a fascinating
and insightful journey through a history of human thought, stopping
off at the key texts which have marked this evolution. This is a
unique book of books, all as beautiful as they are important,
whether they be ancient, modern or those in-between. Eye-catching
antique fonts on leather covers, inked illustrations on vellum, and
inspiring graphics on well-worn jackets draw the reader in. Each
book is detailed with publication date and title, the author is
described, his or her key work outlined, and its context
highlighted. The text brings these books as artefacts to life,
telling the story of what philosophy was and is, how it appeared
and when
