Features: Following Russell's A History of Western Philosophy, this is another philosophical history written by a renowned philosopher. The book takes the perspective of a problem-based history, following the historical left by Russell to comprehensively and deeply evaluate the views and debates of various Western philosophical schools in the 20th century, appropriately incorporating the author's own perspectives throughout. The Philosophy of the 20th Century, published in 1982, was a significant work by Ayrer. The author intended to make this book a sequel to Bertrand Russell's A History of Western Philosophy. The value of this book lies primarily in its introduction and analysis of the aforementioned major trends; at the same time, the author's analysis of some long-standing major issues in the history of Western philosophy in the chapters of this book, as well as his views on the progress of 20th-century philosophy, offer a broad perspective and a certain theoretical depth, making it worth reading for every philosopher, especially those engaged in Western philosophy research.
