![]() ![]() This gives you a wide range of philosophical movements all across the world and gives a decent view of how all the ideas might have been interconnected. Chinese philosophy, Indian philosophy, Arabic philosophy and even some African philosophy. This History also includes non-western philosophy, and it tackles all of them. When reading this book, you’ll be sure it is philosophy you’re reading and not some philosophy where theology has crept in. Grayling made the distinction based on the philosopher using his philosophy to prove God’s existence or depended his theory on the presence of God. Many philosophers also wrote about religion and thus those topics aren’t covered. ![]() The first thing that I like is the fact that Grayling makes a clear distinction between theology and philosophy in his book from the very beginning. It is the newest full-fledged history of philosophy out there and if you want to be up to date, read this book. This book packs a punch and has a lot of strong aspects. If you are looking for a new book to introduce you to the marvelous, wonderful world of philosophy, I would strongly recommend the History of Philosophy by A.C. ![]()
