A quick traipse across the centuries with some serious thinkers. Outlines of the lives of men (all men) such as Aristotle, Aquinas, Spinoza, Kant, Voltaire and others are provided with the foundations and summaries of each man's philosophy appearing inter alia. Not a dumbed-down survey, though certainly not a distillation, but a decent sketch of Western thought through the ages. A quick traipse across the centuries with some serious thinkers.
