World Philosophy
presents the whole range of issues with which the great philosophers of both East
and West have been concerned: the nature of reality and
our understanding of it, the principles that lie behind what we can
know and say about art, science, religion and
ethics. It probes
the purpose of education, the meaning of history and the place
of law and politics. It examines language, logic and the nature of
mind.
It goes beyond other books on philosophy, in seeking to use a wide range of images to show both the
historical and cultural
context of the ideas being explored, but also to
give visual expression
to the arguments and insights themselves, allowing the interplay
of word and image to deepen the reader’s appreciation of these key ideas.
Flexible in use and compelling in appearance, it
invites the
reader to take a journey, through words and images, among the ideas that have
shaped our world.
