This book is universally acclaimed as the outstanding one-volume work on the subject of Western philosophy.
Considered to be one of the most important philosophical works of all time, the History of Western Philosophy is a dazzlingly unique exploration of the ideologies of significant philosophers throughout the ages—from Plato and Aristotle through to Spinoza, Kant and the twentieth century. Written by a man who changed the history of philosophy himself, this is an account that has never been rivaled since its first publication over sixty years ago.
Since its first publication in 1945, Lord Russell’s A History of Western Philosophy is still unparalleled in its comprehensiveness, its clarity, its erudition, its grace, and its wit. In seventy-six chapters he traces philosophy from the rise of Greek civilization to the emergence of logical analysis in the twentieth century.
Among the philosophers considered are: Pythagoras, Heraclitus, Parmenides, Empedocles, Anaxagoras, the Atomists, Protagoras, Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, the Cynics, the Sceptics, the Epicureans, the Stoics, Plotinus, Ambrose, Jerome, Augustine, Benedict, Gregory the Great, John the Scot, Aquinas, Duns Scotus, William of Occam, Machiavelli, Erasmus, More, Bacon, Hobbes, Descartes, Spinoza, Leibniz, Locke, Berkeley, Hume, Rousseau, Kant, Hegel, Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, the Utilitarians, Marx, Bergson, James, Dewey, and lastly the philosophers with whom Lord Russell himself is most closely associated—Cantor, Frege, and Whitehead, coauthor with Russell of the monumental Principia Mathematica.
Russell divides his text into three books or periods. I have put each book in its own folder. Each book is numbered separately and the entire work is number for continuity.

Nice! Thank you!!!

Thank you for this brilliant upload !

I’m happy to have this, but it’ll be a cold day in Hell when I’ll finish it. Then again, having wrote that…

Hey, someone please suggest some of the important books based on Eastern Philosophy that needs to be read .
November 28th, 2020
Oh, my college Intro to Philosophy textbook! lol

We were recommended it too. It’s a venerable classic, at this stage. We were also advised that his coverage of some philosophers & eras waxed and waned in substance, depending on his interest.
@Aranya - Some good places to start might be the lecture series covering Confucius; and another Eastern intellectual tradition. A fascinating area.

A rather strange grouping of themes. Not how the book had been conceived and written!
November 28th, 2020
@Aranya - Also, not sure if Gurdjieff is your thing, but Haru has uploaded many books on Eastern spirituality: https://classicaudio.org/audio-books/in-search-of-the-miraculous-the-classic-exploration-of-eastern-psychological-thinking-and-philosophy-p-d-ouspensky/

I was looking for Kevin Burns book: Eastern Philosophy - but no sign of it here as yet.

A book I have never yet tired of (but who reads it through, it was made for dipping into). From the splendid irrelevance of the Greeks (Russell is particularly good on Aristotle’s Physics) to the utter pointlessness of the scholastics.
And it was so wise of Russell to leave out that pompous old fool Kierkegaard.
November 28th, 2020
@Aranya99,
The Great Courses has a series on Eastern Thought.
There is also a podcast series called Philosophy Without Any Gaps which includes Islamic and Indian. Don’t think they cover east Asian though.

…er, cheerfully wrong on all that, oddly enough. However, philosophy can be a forbidding area. Greek science, like all science - like our science, was superseded. But their theories on politics, metaphysics, poetics, epistemology, logic, ethics, rhetoric, aesthetics, music? No, not so much. Utterly seminal, in point of fact. Always worth exploring.
Russell’s coverage of medieval philosophy is patchy & not incisive in character (philosophy professors advised us not to rely on his treatment of this area, in particular). He had no appreciation for Islamic contributions to philosophy. No consideration of crucial figures like Maimonides (the great Jewish thinker), Avicenna and Averroes. “Arabic philosophy is not important as original thought.” Such blanket assertions had the dubious virtue of saving authorial & editorial time.
However, Russell did honestly admit his own significant bias. Wittgenstein - a great admirer, friend & colleague of his - used to say that Russell’s books should be bound in two covers, those dealing with mathematical philosophy in blue, and every student of philosophy should read them, while those dealing with popular subjects should be bound in red and no one should be allowed to read them. A tad harsh.
Kierkegaard (regarded as the “Daddy of existentialism”) wasn’t as known in the English speaking world in the early 1940s as he was in France and Germany. It was only at this time that many of his works were finally translated into English (Either/Or was trans. in 1944 for inst).
Russell included Kierkegaard in his later history of philosophy book, entitled Wisdom of the West.
It’s a grand old sweep, all the same.

@caesar963 & @ehead
Thanks for the suggestions . I’ll definitely look into it .
November 29th, 2020
@Aranya - Enjoy your voyage of discovery - there’s a wealth of information out there.
I forgot to suggest Thomas Merton’s Seven Storey Mountain, being, as it is, a superlative spiritual marriage of eastern & western thought. https://classicaudio.org/audio-books/the-seven-storey-mountain-thomas-merton/
(Thanks also to ehead for the podcast recommendation. I’ll check that out myself. “Philosophy Without Any Gaps” while still having gaps, is an offbeat concept. Like Doctors Without Borders - but with borders.)

Thank you for this!
