STORIA DELLA FILOSOFIA OCCIDENTALE, I VOL. 1966 | BERTRAND RUSSELL

History of Western Philosophy Volume I (1966 Italian translation) by Bertrand Russell is a scholarly yet accessible survey of ancient and Medieval philosophy, tracing thought from the Pre‑Socratics, through Socratic and Platonic dialogues, Aristotelian logic, to early Christian and Scholastic traditions. Russell examines philosophers’ evolving responses to questions of metaphysics, ethics, knowledge, and reality, weaving historical narrative with critical insight. Emphasizing clarity, analytical reasoning, and occasional wry commentary, his prose demystifies complex ideas and highlights ideas’ social and cultural contexts. The volume functions both as a historical chronicle and a philosophical critique, reflecting Russell’s distinctive blend of erudition and engagement.
