Whether it is Plato or Russell; although they lived in an era thousands of years apart, there is no doubt about their influence on their peers and their impressions on later generations. They have been called cold, serious and even boring adjectives, and their lifestyles are very different from our ordinary people; but in fact they are a lovely group of people, with a little paranoia and firm beliefs, no matter who proposed Achilles Zeno, who could not catch up with the tortoise, was his contemporary ancient Greek philosophers. They also had some petty tempers when they speculated and discussed with each other. Their quarrels deeply affected the philosophical schools of later generations; not to mention the modern philosophers who wrote books and said that they seemed to be far away from the hustle and bustle but deeply cared about the times. They not only secluded themselves in bookshelves but also contributed their talents to all aspects of society.

This book will introduce the stories of more philosophers and their ideas. By understanding the lives and thinking of these philosophers, readers can gain a deeper understanding of the development of philosophy and different schools of thought.
