This book was born of the paperback boom, and it is meant as an aid
in the interpretation of the history of Western philosophy. It is
designed especially for use in a course in the history of
philosophy, but I hope that it may also prove useful for other
purposes, such as an historical introduction to philosophy or a
comprehensive review of the history of philosophy or just as a help
to the general reader trying to make some sense out of the history
of Western philosophy. Opening of the Preface This book is a guide
to the interpretation of the history of Western philosophy. Is
there,as the word "history" suggests, a story or plot in the
history of Western philosophy, or in any of its parts? We shall see
that there is a story in the whole of the history of Western
philosophy (although its end still lies in the future), a story in
each of the major parts of that story, and a story in each of the
main subdivisions of those parts. Thus, the story of Western
philosophy has stories within stories, wheels within wheels.
Moreover, the stories we shall follow in this book are doubtless
not the only stories in the history of Western philosophy, and they
may also not be the most important ones. Our task as students both
of the history of philosophy and of philosophy itself, therefore,
should to try to discover these most important stories or plots, to
reflect upon them, and thereby to advance our own philosophizing.
