Editorial Review Product Description Since its first publication in 1945? Lord Russell's A History of Western Philosophy has been universally acclaimed as the outstanding one-volume work on the subject -- unparalleled in its comprehensiveness, its clarity, its erudition, its grace and wit. In seventy-six chapters he traces philosophy from the rise of Greek civilization to the emergence of logical analysis in the twentieth century. Among the philosophers considered are: Pythagoras, Heraclitus, Parmenides, Empedocles, Anaxagoras, the Atomists, Protagoras, Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, the Cynics, the Sceptics, the Epicureans, the Stoics, Plotinus, Ambrose, Jerome, Augustine, Benedict, Gregory the Great, John the Scot, Aquinas, Duns Scotus, William of Occam, Machiavelli, Erasmus, More, Bacon, Hobbes, Descartes, Spinoza, Leibniz, Locke, Berkeley, Hume, Rousseau, Kant, Hegel, Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, the Utilitarians, Marx, Bergson, James, Dewey, and lastly the philosophers with whom Lord Russell himself is most closely associated -- Cantor, Frege, and Whitehead, co-author with Russell of the monumental Principia Mathematica.

Editorial Review Product Description An inspired gathering of religious writings that reveals the "divine reality" common to all faiths, collected by Aldous Huxley "The Perennial Philosophy," Aldous Huxley writes, "may be found among the traditional lore of peoples in every region of the world, and in its fully developed forms it has a place in every one of the higher religions." With great wit and stunning intellect—drawing on a diverse array of faiths, including Zen Buddhism, Hinduism, Taoism, Christian mysticism, and Islam—Huxley examines the spiritual beliefs of various religious traditions and explains how they are united by a common human yearning to experience the divine. The Perennial Philosophy includes selections from Meister Eckhart, Rumi, and Lao Tzu, as well as the Bhagavad Gita, Tibetan Book of the Dead, Diamond Sutra, and Upanishads, among many others.

Editorial Review Product Description What was stunning about the Proust book was de Botton's brazenannexing of a hallowed novelist to address lite emotional problems. Thatformat is less arresting when applied to the philosophers, since whichearnest philosophy major has not, from time to time, tried to apply thealpine heights of thought to his own humble worries? Usually, sophomoricattempts to turn to, say, Kant for advice on love tend to be unmitigateddisasters. In de Botton's case, however, he is able to find consolationfor a broken heart in Schopenhauer, consolation for inadequacy inMontaigne. Epicurus, usually associated with a love of luxury, is a solacefor those of us without much money--and de Botton learns from him that"objects mimic in a material dimension what we require in a psychologicalone. We need to rearrange our minds but are lured towards new shelves. Webuy a cashmere cardigan as a substitutefor the counsel of friends." Lest the reader become burdened by all this philosophizing, the book ispeppered with illustrations--the section on Nietzsche of course includesa DC Comics drawing of Superman. And it's further leavened by theauthor's personal anecdotes and winning confessional tone. Early on, forinstance, he admits his own gnawing need for popularity: "A desire toplease led me to laugh atmodest jokes like a parent on the opening night of a school play."Before he became a medicine man for the soul, de Botton was a first-ratenovelist, and it shows in his writing. --Claire Dederer Customer Reviews (108)

Editorial Review Product Description With its swirling cigarette smoke, martini lunches, skinny ties, and tight pencil skirts, Mad Men is unquestionably one of the most stylish, sexy, and irresistible shows on television. But the series becomes even more absorbing once you dig deeper into its portrayal of the changing social and political mores of 1960s America and explore the philosophical complexities of its key characters and themes. From Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle to John Kenneth Galbraith, Milton Friedman, and Ayn Rand, Mad Men and Philosophy brings the thinking of some of history's most powerful minds to bear on the world of Don Draper and the Sterling Cooper ad agency. You'll gain insights into a host of compelling Mad Men questions and issues, including happiness, freedom, authenticity, feminism, Don Draper's identity, and more. Mad Men and Philosophy will give Mad Men fans everywhere something new to talk about around the water cooler. Customer Reviews (3)
