"...So much of our lives is meaningless, a self-cancelling vacillation and futility; we strive with the chaos about us and within; but we would believe all the while that there is something vital and significant in us, could we but decipher our own souls. We want to understand; ‘life means for us constantly to transform into light and flame all that we are or meet with’..."

The Story of Philosophy (1926) is a groundbreaking work of creative nonfiction written by Pulitzer Prize winner, Will Durant. Chronicling the ideas—and lives—of Plato, Aristotle, Bacon, Spinoza, Voltaire, Kant, Schopenhauer, Spencer, Nietzsche, Bergson, Croce, Russell, Santayana, James, and Dewey; Durant explores the influence of one great thinker on the next, contextualizing the evolution and development of philosophical thought in the Western world.

Praised for helping to popularize philosophy to the general reader, Durant’s writing shines as he effortlessly weaves together history, philosophy, and biography, cumulating in a work that both encourages and celebrates a genuine love and pursuit of wisdom. Considered by many to be the one of the best introductions to the study of philosophy, The Story of Philosophy is an insightful in-depth look at over a dozen great minds and the environments that created them.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Will Durant

Will Durant (1885 – 1981) nasceu em North Adams, nos Estados Unidos da América, e tem lugar entre os grandes historiadores do pensamento e da civilização.
Não apenas um historiador, mas um contador de histórias.
Num estilo que sempre fez questão de distanciar de um certo formalismo académico, Durant celebrizou-se por essa autenticidade, sempre sem descurar o rigor da informação e o respetivo enquadramento. Dessa forma, foi capaz de levar o que antes era exclusivo de um meio mais elitista a um público mais vasto.
Will e a sua mulher Ariel Durant, com quem trabalhava, foram agraciados com o Prémio Pulitzer de Não Ficção Geral em 1968, e, em 1977, com a Medalha Presidencial da Liberdade, uma condecoração do presidente dos EUA.
