This book is a simple and fascinating exposition of Western philosophy, which we call classical. Alexander Markov not only talks about European thinkers familiar to us - in his book the classic meets the unknown, and the reader will be able to learn about the concepts of philosophers, whose names are sometimes undeservedly forgotten. A rich kaleidoscope – from Aurelius Augustine to Karl Marx and Edmund Husserl – you will be able to trace the development of European philosophy from the classics to the cutting edge of modern thought. You will touch not only the usual Western European worldview, but also learn about the work of the philosophers of Hungary, Finland, Croatia and other countries.For students and anyone interested in philosophy.In a4 format .pdf with publisher's layout saved.
