Philosophical amazement: A history of philosophy

A book that illuminates some of the most important decisive intellectual moments in the history of philosophy. It is a brief and concise introduction to getting to know the greatest philosophers throughout history or human eras, with their contributions, philosophical work, and intellectual activity in various fields of philosophy, dating back to pre-Socratic philosophers who were active in ancient Greece in the sixth century BC, such as Thales, up to philosophy in our present age. This book aims to be an introduction to the great thinkers of the past, those who strived, each in their own way, to clarify the problems of our condition that are endless, to understand them, engage with them, and love them. Because without these problems, which we often tend to forget or deny, we would not be human: we would lack both the possibility and the duty to be free and responsible beings. Possessing that possibility and that duty is what we discover most excellently, across the various forms of philosophical wonder. Philosophical Wonder - Jean Hersh
