Features: A History of Western Philosophy by Oxford is an authoritative and comprehensive single-volume history of philosophy that fully embodies the characteristics of Oxford's intellectual history works. The book includes ancient philosophy, medieval philosophy, modern philosophy from Descartes to Kant, European continental philosophy after Kant, analytic philosophy from Mill to Wittgenstein, and Western political philosophy. The authors are all top philosophers of philosophy history, who use clear and concise language to outline the profound journey and important thoughts of Western philosophy in an accessible way. Unlike common narrative styles filled with "Plato said," "Kant said," this book emphasizes rigorous and clear analysis, which is quite beneficial for readers who are tired of textbook-style expressions. Whether for general readers interested in the history of ideas or professional scholars, they will gain knowledge and inspiration from it. The English edition of A History of Western Philosophy was published by Oxford University Press in the UK in 2000.
