The Passion Of The Western Mind: Understanding the Ideas That Have Shaped Our World View
Here are the great minds of Western civilization and their pivotal ideas, from Plato to Hegel, from Augustine to Nietzsche, from Copernicus to Freud. Richard Tarnas performs the near-miracle of describing profound philosophical concepts simply but without simplifying them. Ten years in the making and already hailed as a classic, “The Passion of the Western Mind” is truly a complete liberal education in a single volume.
