Review: Best philosophy book eber - The book on philosophy. Seemingly complex ideas made very simple, and before it gets bogged down in one persona for too long it moves into another. Each philosophers best and most enduring ideas.
Review: A must read - I can't thing of a book on contemporary philosophy that has had a more profound impact than Will Durants The story of Philosophy. It's a fascinating read, summing up the ideals of the greats in easily understood language and digestible form. The book itself is nicely sized and well made, what I expect from a massive market paperback. The price is right, no complaints on that front, I do think the cover is a little ugly but hey, never judge a book by it's cover, am I right? Full marks, would recommend.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nearly As Good As Russell’s History
*by G***A on 12 January 2018*

Alongside Bertrand Russell’s History of Western Philosophy, this is probably the next best book to buy. It is a book I thoroughly enjoy dipping into from time to time, and now that the kindle version is available, it can be read almost any time and anywhere. I should also mention Durant’s other major work: The Story of Civilization. These volumes (11 of them) also contain much philosophy. But unfortunately, most seem still out of print. Even many of the kindle versions aren’t yet available. But if you’re looking for a mix of history and philosophy, these works are admirably readable and a make a great companion to his philosophy. I hope you found my review helpful.
