  • Do you wish you could understand the greatest philosophers without reading dozens of heavy books?
  • Are you searching for a clear, engaging introduction to the lives and ideas that shaped human thought?

If so, keep reading.

First published nearly a century ago, The Story of Philosophy made complex ideas accessible to everyday readers. Will Durant's gift for storytelling brings history’s greatest minds to life—from ancient Egyptian sages to modern European philosophers.

Now, this updated and revised edition restores Durant’s original brilliance while refining and expanding it for 21st-century readers.

Editor Sherif Hosseiny carefully preserves the timeless core of Durant’s work while making it easier to navigate, understand, and enjoy.

Inside, you'll discover:

• The bold questions that drove Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle
How thinkers like Spinoza, Kant, and Nietzsche challenged the status quo
• The spiritual wisdom of Ptahhotep and the intellectual revolutions of Descartes and Locke
• The enduring influence of philosophers on politics, science, and personal ethics
• The human side of each philosopher—their doubts, struggles, and passions

And much more.

Whether you're a student, lifelong learner, or simply curious about philosophy, this updated classic offers a powerful roadmap through the evolution of human thought.

With over 17,000 Goodreads ratings and a solid 4.7-star average on Amazon, readers continue to praise this book for making philosophy both approachable and inspiring.
