In these four volumes Sir Anthony Kenny unfolds a magisterial new history of Western philosophy. Specially written for a broad popular readership, but serious and deep enough to offer a genuine understanding of the great philosophers, Kenny's lucid and stimulating history will become the definitive work for anyone interested in the people and ideas that shaped the course of Western thought. Specially written for a broad popular readership, but serious and deep enough to offer a genuine understanding of the great philosophers, Kenny's lucid and stimulating history will become the definitive work for anyone interested in the people and ideas that shaped the course of Western thought. These four volumes have been designed to dovetail with each other: they offer a unified overview of the entire development of philosophy, allowing readers to trace themes through the centuries, from antiquity to the present day. The story is illuminated by a selection of intriguing and beautiful illustrations.

Review from previous edition: "Both scholarly and accessible... a fine choice not only for those with a background in philosophy but for those new to the subject." --Library Journal USA

"This wonderful book . . . is not only an authoritative guide to the history of philosophy but also a compelling introduction to every major area of philosophical inquiry. . . . Kenny's prose is exceptionally clear . . . He conveys his rich subject matter with a light touch of which only the greatest of writers are capable. . . . This, combined with his breadth and depth of learning and philosophical sophistication, make reading this book hugely rewarding. It is also worth mentioning that the book is beautifully illustrated . . . One is left eager for subsequent volumes and convinced that the intellectual cosmos is, indeed, boundlessly rich." --James Ladyman, Times Higher Education Supplement

"An enviable combination of authority and page-turning readability." --Anthony Freeman, THES

他相信灵魂不随肉体而死，人死后灵魂游历他方，将会附到不同种类的动物身上。毕达哥拉斯的有些追随者进而相信三千年宇宙轮回说，认为灵魂在人死后会逐个进入到陆地，海洋或空中的各种动物身体之中，最后再返回到人体中来，这一过程本身会周而复始。 (查看原文)
