An illuminating celebration of more than 80 of the world's most
important thinkers, this book explores the fascinating stories of
their lives, their loves, and their pioneering ideas. Introduced
with a stunning portrait of each featured philosopher, entries
trace the ideas and beliefs, and the relationships and rivalries
that inspired the great thinkers and influenced their work,
providing revealing insights into what drove them to question the
meaning of life and come up with new ways of understanding the
world. Lavishly illustrated with photographs and paintings of
philosophers, their homes, friends, studies, and their personal
belongings, together with pages from original manuscripts, first
editions, and correspondence, this book introduces the key ideas,
themes, and working methods of each featured individual, setting
their ideas within a wider historical and cultural context.
Charting the development of ideas across the centuries in both the
East and West, from ancient Chinese philosophy to the work of
contemporary thinkers, Philosophers provides a compelling glimpse
into the personal lives, loves, and influences of the great
philosophers as they probed into life's "big ideas".
