History of Philosophy, Vol. 2 of 3 (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from History of Philosophy, Vol. 2 of 3<br><br>The part of the History of Philosophy of which the present volume treats I attempted to present in an extended work, the first division of which appeared thirty-three years ago, and was separated from the last division by a space of twenty years.

That it is a very different one, part by part, every one will readily understand, who considers that the first division of the larger work was written when its author had reached his fourth climacteric year, the last division, when he had reached the seventh, and that now, when he is approaching the ninth, he must naturally find the first to be more remote and foreign than the last.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
