From Plato's Republic to Kant's Critique of Pure Reason, 16 works that shaped the history of philosophy. A brief tour of sixteen of the most important works in the history of philosophy, starting from Plato's Republic and extending into the 20th century, with notable intermediate stops including Machiavelli's The Prince, Schopenhauer's The World as Will and Representation, Nietzsche's Thus Spoke Zarathustra, Marx's Capital, and more.
Each chapter provides access to a major philosophical work and includes an in-depth approach to it, as well as significant details about the author's life and their philosophical views — always in the social and political context of the time when the works were written.
A book that is read with keen interest from beginning to end, written in accessible language. A philosophical journey for which the reader does not need any special equipment or prior familiarity. A gateway that leads to the world of great philosophers.
