plato85 Posted June 29, 2017 Posted June 29, 2017 I'm halfway through Arthur Herman's - The Cave the Light. I've read a few histories of philosophy, this is my favourite. It covers the history of philosophy from the pre-socratics right through to the modern age. It doesn't go into their philosophies in depth, it more gives a narrartive to the history of philosophy, why each philosopher was needed, and how they impacted history. It focuses on how society/philosophy swings between Plato inspired philosophy and Aristotle inspired. It's 570 pages plus another hundred pages of foot notes/bibliography/index. https://www.amazon.com/Cave-Light-Aristotle-Struggle-Civilization/dp/0553385666
