History of Western Philosophy

£800 · Offered by Shapero Rare Books

Despite Russell's still important mathematical works and indeed his essays on logical positivism, not to mention his much vaunted campaigning for peace, the History of Western Philosophy remains his best-regarded and lasting testament. A classic survey of intellectual thought, charting over 2000-years of history from the pre-Socratic philosopher Thales (fl.585 BC) to the American educationalist John Dewey (AD 1859-1952), who was in his 87th year at the time of publication. First UK edition, first impression; 8vo (22.5 x 15 cm); occasional light toning; full light brown morocco, covers ruled in gilt, spine lettered in gilt, all edges gilt, very good; 916pp. Blackwell/Ruja A79.2a.
