Philosophical Connections

Compiled by Anthony Harrison-Barbet

“There is no other work in which the connections
of ideas are so clearly set out — who influenced
and was influenced by whom, and concerning
what…This book should be seen as a kind of
vade mecum which will help the curious to get
to grips with philosophical issues by learning
something about their origins and the various
solutions offered in the past. It is a unique
work of reference.”
