The Story of Philosophy

 

The Story of Philosophy

Although the book is purely philosophical, and I am not inclined to read the history of philosophers, it is enough for me to take the lessons and wisdom they left behind, but I decided to read it after seeing a quote that 

caught my eye, and this quote is

Civilization begins with order, grows with liberty, and dies with chaos

The book is a compilation of philosophical concepts that traveled around the world and paved the way for the enlightenment era, new ways of governance, a stronger sense of purpose in humans, and an exploration of the meaning of life

The book shows how the philosophers touched on humanity’s most burdening questions and came forth with some relative answers, which the author presents in this book

I recommend the book to anyone interested in philosophy and the history of philosophers; the book discusses how the opinions of philosophers affected politics, and how they taught people the meaning of life
