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 Philosophy offered a cogent precis 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.

Escrito por Bertrand Russell
Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) es reconocido por su defensa del logicismo, del monismo neutral y por sus teorías sobre el atomismo lógico y los tipos lógicos. Fue uno de los fundadores de la filosofía analítica moderna, y su Principia Mathematica revitalizó el estudio de la lógica en el siglo xx. Russell fue galardonado con el Premio Nobel de Literatura en 1950.
