作者介绍：

Bertrand Russell（伯特兰.罗素，1872—1970）是二十世纪英国哲学家、数理逻辑学家、历史学家，无神论或者不可知论者，也是上世纪西方最著名、影响最大的学者和和平主义社会活动家之一，罗素也被认为是与弗雷格、维特根斯坦和怀特海一同创建了分析哲学。

他与怀特海合著的《数学原理》对逻辑学、数学、集合论、语言学和分析哲学有着巨大影响。1950年，罗素获得诺贝尔文学奖，以表彰其“多样且重要的作品，持续不断的追求人道主义理想和思想自由”。他的代表作品有《幸福之路》、《西方哲学史》、《数学原理》、《物的分析》等。

作品介绍：

本书是伯特兰.罗素的代表作之一，记述了从西方哲学萌芽的古希腊哲学一直到二十世纪早期期西方哲学的发展历程。书中以各个哲学流派及其代表哲学家为中心记述西方哲学哲学的发展历程，同时也对各个哲学流派产生的历史背景、哲学家的生活时代加以描述，以使读者更好地理解西方哲学的发展历程，并明白作为形而上的哲学的产生与发展，都有其深厚的社会政治经济背景，是它们发展的产物。

First published in 1946, History of Western Philosophy went on to become the best-selling philosophy book of the twentieth century. A dazzlingly ambitious project, it remains unchallenged to this day as the ultimate introduction to Western philosophy. Providing a sophisticated overview of the ideas that have perplexed people from time immemorial, Russell's History of Western Philosophyoffered a cogent précis of its subject. Of course this cannot be the only reason it ended up the best selling philosophy book of the twentieth century. Russell's book was 'long on wit, intelligence and curmudgeonly scepticism', as the New York Times noted, and it is this, coupled with the sheer brilliance of its scholarship, that has made Russell's History of Western Philosophy one of the most important philosophical works of all time.
