The Story of Philosophy - Will Durant - 1953 Edition

The Story of Philosophy - Will Durant - 1953 Edition The Story of Philosophy : The Lives and Opinions of the Greater Philosophers 1953 edition. Twelfth printing. The book is celebrated for making complex Western thought accessible to the general public, tracing ideas chronologically from ancient Greece up through the early 20th century. Durant humanizes philosophy by profiling thinkers' lives and framing their ideas within their historical environments. It covers major figures from Plato and Aristotle to Nietzsche and organizes concepts into five branches: Logic, Esthetics, Ethics, Politics, and Metaphysics. The book popularized the often-misattributed saying, "We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit," which Durant actually penned to summarize Aristotle. Pretty good vintage condition. Some wear and discoloring on cover. Yellowing of pages. See pics and video. #vintage #book #read #learn #hardcover #philosophy #durant #aristotle #spinoza #voltaire #plato
