First published in 1946, History of Western Philosophy went on to become the best-selling philosophy book of the twentieth century. A dazzlingly ambitious project, it remains unchallenged to this day as the ultimate introduction to Western philosophy. Providing a sophisticated overview of the ideas that have perplexed people from time immemorial, Russell's History of Western Philosophy offered a cogent précis of its subject. Of course this cannot be the only reason it ended up the best selling philosophy book of the twentieth century. Russell's book was 'long on wit, intelligence and curmudgeonly scepticism', as the New York Times noted, and it is this, coupled with the sheer brilliance of its scholarship, that has made Russell's History of Western Philosophy one of the most important philosophical works of all time.

我的读书顺序真是古怪……为什么都是先中文再英文，挫

1946; 1961.

读之前以为这书是大学哲学导论必读书目那样的西方哲学史，结果它是袁腾飞说历史那样的西方哲学史。pre-Socratics部分真的不错，文笔优美，逻辑性强。但从柏拉图开始，罗素放飞自我，想哪儿写哪儿，还总是乱入自己的观点。行文像是急着给编辑交稿那样，结构混乱没逻辑。失望。深深地失望。感觉还是《苏菲的世界》写的更好。
