The Great Philosophers of the World

by Sunita Pant Bansal

If we are to understand and appreciate the ideas propounded by the great philosophers of the past, we must begin by studying their lives. Thoughts are shaped by the thinker's environment and day-to-day experiences. This book reflects this approach and contains short biographies of the philosophers of the world along with a clear exposition of their thoughts. It is amazing to note that the search for ultimate truth has been pursued with great persistence and wisdom since the very dawn of history.
