内容简介：

       本书是一部具有权威性和综合性的单卷本哲学史，充分体现了牛津版思想史著作的特点。该书包括古代哲学、中世纪哲学、从笛卡儿到康德的近代哲学、康德之后的欧洲大陆哲学、从密尔到维特根斯坦的分析哲学以及西方政治哲学。以清晰精练的文笔，深入浅出地勾勒了博大精深的西方哲学的历程和重要思想。与充斥着“柏拉图说……”、“康德说……”的常见叙事方式不同，本书着重严格而清晰的分析，对厌倦了教科书式的表述方式的读者来说是相当有益的读物。无论是对思想史感兴趣的普通读者，还是专业学者，都会从中汲取到知识和灵感。

This book is no less than a guide to the whole of Western philosophy-the ideas that have undergirded our civilization for two-and-a-half thousand years. Anthony Kenny tells the story of philosophy from ancient Greece through the Middle Ages and the Enlightenment into the modern world. He introduces us to the great thinkers and their ideas, starting with Plato, Aristotle, and the other founders of Western thought. In the second part of the book he takes us through a thousand years of medieval philosophy, and shows us the rich intellectual legacy of Christian thinkers like Augustine, Aquinas, and Ockham. Moving into the early modern period, we explore the great works of Descartes, Hobbes, Locke, Leibniz, Spinoza, Hume, and Kant, which remain essential reading today. In the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, Hegel, Mill, Nietzsche, Freud, and Wittgenstein again transformed the way we see the world. Running though the book are certain themes which have been constant concerns of philosophy since its early beginnings: the fundamental questions of what exists and how we can know about it; the nature of humanity, the mind, truth, and meaning; the place of God in the universe; how we should live and how society should be ordered. Anthony Kenny traces the development of these themes through the centuries: we see how the questions asked and answers offered by the great philosophers of the past remain vividly alive today. Anyone interested in ideas and their history will find this a fascinating and stimulating read.
