Features: The history of human thought is a journey from barbarism to civilization, from oppression to freedom. Although there have been dark periods where attempts were made to replace the authoritarian spirit of intellectual authority with intellectual freedom, the light of intellectual freedom inevitably breaks through the darkness, establishing a kingdom of reason and freedom. This book traces the development of free thought from ancient Greece to the early 20th century. J. B. Bury was a significant British scholar in the study of ancient world civilizations and the development of thought.
