The New Lifetime Reading Plan

Philosophy: Bertrand RusselPs History of Western Philosophy cov- ers the entire period from the Greeks to our own day, not always to the satisfaction of academic minds. Will Durant's Story of Philosophy remains a highly readable account, particularly strong on the biographi- cal side. Mentor publishes five useful little books: Giorgio De Santillana's The Age of Adventure (Renaissance philosophers); Stuart Hampshire's The Age of Reason (seventeenth century); Isaiah Berlin's The Age of Enlightenment (eighteenth century); Henry D. Aiken's The Age of Ideology (nineteenth century); Morton White's The Age of Analysis (twentieth century).
