General History of Western Philosophy

I read this book with admiration. This book first talks about the pre-Socratic philosophy. After understanding this, the book also talks about the death of Socrates. He was an extraordinary person. Plato's life and philosophy also impressed me. Philosophical books are the most obscure and difficult to understand. It is actually very difficult to read a philosophical book quickly. And after I finished reading it, I felt that many things were not fully understood. What I did not understand will be quickly forgotten. It is very necessary to re-read these philosophical books, and I must read this book again and again to understand it more deeply.

How long is the time span of general history? As long as 2,500 years, although it is still half less than our 5,000-year long tradition, each of the geniuses who emerged in these two thousand years has a well-known name, Augustine and Torquina, Nietzsche and Schopenhauer, Kant and Hegel; their philosophical systems are all epoch-making discoveries, there is always something for you, and the storytellers are still people. From the stories of these characters and the background of the times, we can also prove the practicality and truth of their doctrines.

In the past, when it came to philosophy, I thought it was very abstract and mysterious. It was just a very ignorant feeling. I didn't know what philosophy was about, and I didn't know why life needed philosophy. We need to learn philosophy. Until I read this book, the work used a very straightforward expression that brought me into the door of philosophy and made me understand the importance of philosophy as a subject. The content of this book is easy to understand, which made it easy for me to read it. It unveiled the mystery of the subject of philosophy and made the philosophy in my heart no longer mysterious.

I admire the author's popular explanation, but because I haven't been able to read the original work for comparison, I have doubts - is it true that those great philosophers in history are still shining as admirable stars? Dr. Wen seems to be peeling off the gorgeous coats of each beautiful woman layer by layer - in the end, yo, it's just one person, with occasional impulses! Well! Philosophy, even philosophy of life, will decline rapidly! Only deification can attract eternal life.

This book is very interesting! It is like a collection of philosophical stories that make those profound philosophical ideas easy to understand, just like chatting with friends. I particularly like the philosophers in it, their characters and experiences are so rich! For example, Nietzsche's madness and Schopenhauer's pessimism made me think more deeply about life. This book made me understand that philosophy is not far away, it is in our lives, guiding us to find truth and meaning. I think this book is not only suitable for people who are interested in philosophy, but also for people like me who want to explore life. 😄

Philosophers are like pieces of paper in a kaleidoscope, unpredictable, turning into all kinds of philosophical flowers and becoming thousands of colorful flowers of life.

Tao can be Tao, but it is very Tao... Metaphysics is always wrapped in a mysterious cloak, like fog, flowers, water and moon, vague reality... Read it, think about it, praise it, doubt it, or even deny it... Haha, philosophy: a world of mystery and mystery.

From theory to reality, and from reality to theory. Discover, understand and utilize from learning to practice and practice again. Philosophy is progressing, and we humans have been accelerating our understanding and accumulating endless wealth of knowledge.

What is philosophy? In the eyes of some people, philosophy is the study of how to face death. Furthermore, we can see that philosophy is concerned with how we understand the world and ourselves. Therefore, if we regard philosophy itself as something to be studied and analyze the formation and evolution of philosophy from the perspective of knowledge sociology, we will discover the essential characteristics of the society in which philosophy is located. This is also one of the important significances of studying Western philosophy. Such a philosophical popularization work with rich content and concise knowledge is also an important window for us to understand Western philosophy.

For me, philosophy is a subject that I have never been exposed to and know relatively little about. When I read this book by the author, I read it with the attitude of giving it a try. Unexpectedly, I was immediately attracted by the wonderful content in the book and couldn't extricate myself. The author describes in detail the lives of the great philosophers in Western history and their outstanding works in simple and easy-to-understand language. Let us have a clear understanding of the history that is unknown to us. Therefore, I think this is a work worth collecting and recommending, and worth reading and pondering carefully.

This is another world

Not bad, I think

It would be good to learn about Western philosophy

This is the simplest, popular and understandable history of Western philosophy I have ever read!

Philosophy is the need of life

Not bad, worth reading

Philosophy is alive, and the history of philosophy is created by philosophers, and only a few of them.

Wow, I came across this book by chance. As I read it, I discovered that my sophomore high school politics teacher talked to us about what philosophy is in the first lesson of the semester, based on the overview of philosophy in the first chapter. When I think of reading such a good book with my beloved teacher, I can't help but feel excited and become more and more attracted to it. There are thousands of books in the world, what a fate [smile]

After reading the whole book, I feel that philosophy is no longer hazy, but has a general outline. I understand the hard work of many philosophical masters, and I have gained a lot!

It's not bad. It's okay for an introduction to philosophy, but some of the content is not rigorous and it's not appropriate to delve into it...

I systematically studied the history of philosophy and benefited a lot. Not only did he talk about philosophy, but he also talked about philosophers. Regardless of the point of view, the expression is more vivid and lively.

A very good book. The language is easy to understand and rarely uses professional terms. Even if it is used, it has sufficient explanations. It is very good for philosophy novices.

Does anyone have a list of extended reading books for each chapter? Systematic learning and extended reading.

Worth a serious look!
