Libro Usado, Tapa Blanda. sinopsis en inglesA History of Western Philosophy (1945) by Bertrand Russell is a comprehensive and highly accessible survey of Western thought from the rise of Greek civilization to the early 20th century.Rather than treating philosophical ideas in isolation, Russell examines them as both effects and causes of the social, political, and cultural environments in which they emerged. The book is divided into three main sections: Ancient Philosophy (from the Pre-Socratics to the Hellenistic era), Catholic Philosophy (focusing on medieval scholasticism and thinkers like St. Augustine and Thomas Aquinas), and Modern Philosophy (from the Renaissance and Scientific Revolution up to Russell’s own contemporary analytical school).
