From ancient philosophy to postmodernism, this new work is the most authoritative and up-to-date single-volume introduction to the history of Eastern and Western philosophy. These philosophical systems are viewed as attempts, above all, to provide integrated accounts of the place of human beings within the wider order of things, and to determine in the light of these philosophies the proper conduct of human life.
