Great for Comps.
1. April 2000
Format:Taschenbuch
This is a fine overall history of philosophy. It is accurate and concise, and very helpful for anyone who has to take comprehensive exams for philosophy (this was the purpose of the book in the first place, compiled from his wife's class notes for a comp. review class he conducted). Besides covering the major trends and salient features of certain philosopher's positions, it also lists their major works and subsequent influence in the tradition.

Brilliant
20. Januar 2008
Format:Taschenbuch
The history of philosophy is a gigantic canvas.
There are books that masterfully describe this history such as Bertrand Russell's 'History of Western Philosophy' and then there are books that make you fall hopelessly in love with the subject.
Marias' book is written by someone having such a love affair and its effect on the reader is infectious.
Following his mentor, Ortega y Gasset's, advice that 'clarity is courtesy', Marias (and his translators) use language to effortlessly and comprehensively explain the most difficult of concepts. This is the exception rather than the rule in the annals of philosophy.
You feel swept along by the personalities as much as their theories in this gem of a book.
I cannot praise this work highly enough. It is brilliant.

A Fine History of Western Philosophy
2. Januar 2009
Format:Taschenbuch
Julián Marías's "Historia de la Filosofía," translated by Stanley Appelbaum and Clarence C. Strowbridge, is an excellent introduction to the history of Western philosophical thought. First published in Madrid in 1941, it has gone through 22 editions in Spanish and has become the standard classroom text on the subject throughout the Spanish-speaking world. The book covers virtually all the major philosophers and schools from the Pre-Socratics to mid-twentieth century. Influential secondary figures are treated extensively as well. As a one-volume reference to the history of philosophy, Marias's text succeeds admirably. The book has four parts: Greek Philosophy, Christianity, Medieval Philosophy, and Modern Philosophy, this last part being the largest in extent and broadest in thematic scope. Christianity, the shortest part, deals basically with Patristic speculation and Augustine, and serves as a prelude to Scholasticism. The narrative is consistently well-structured, clear and precise. A thorough bibliography and index are included. At times the author avoids delving too deeply into some topic when this reader felt that a more profound treatment would have been preferable. Perhaps that is inevitable in a work of this breadth intended for a general audience. Fortunately, it does not occur too often and certainly does not diminish the worth of the book as a whole. "History of Philosophy" rightfully earns a five-star rating.
