A History of Western Philosophy by Bertrand Russell Book Review

A full book breakdown and discussion of Bertrand Russell’s “A History of Western Philosophy.“ I love this book because Russel is not scared to be biased! I’m not here to zombie out on a Routledge or Cambridge objective history of western philosophy (now very biased with the invasion of identity politics in academia.) Instead, Russell provides a beautiful overview of the progression of western thought and adds his own opinions of these philosophers discussed. However, until the modern philosophers, Russel stays away from polemic or elitist attacks on ancient philosophers’ ideas. A lot of the Greek ideas seem silly, but they were instrumental for human thought to progress to the next level. Russell has nothing but praise for these philosophers and stays level head in his analysis of them. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 👀 Follow me for daily literature and writ
