Now extensively updated and very likely the most comprehensive work on the history of philosophy around the world, and the only one of its kind, this writing gives extensive evidence of human thought throughout history. The author's hope is to bridge a gap in history of philosophy, and dispel the myth of a philosophical Dark Age. Coppedge has interpolated a multitude of philosophers using special techniques: there are systems and aphorisms by Plato, Socrates, Aristotle, Thales, Anaximander, Anaximenes, Pythagoras, Xenophanes, Heraclitus, Protagoras and other Sophists, Zeno, Pyrrho, Epictetus, Locke, Kant, Novalis, Wittgenstein, Chinese philosophers, and numerous others. A significant part of the work is dedicated to highly contemporary philosophy, always in a readable, abbreviated form. This work, dedicated to an above all technical and useful, thus, meta-modern approach to philosophy, will dazzle with its combination intelligence and wisdom.
