There are many books that describe the great epic of philosophy – and yet they are not enough. In this book, the French philosopher and educator Luc Ferry analyzes the history of philosophy through a dialogue with Claude Capelier, a former official of the Ministry of Education of France, responsible for school programs.
The Most Beautiful History of Philosophy is a personal story: Luc Ferry traces back to antiquity and reaches up to the present day, searching for the meaning of the human condition and our "salvation," the liberation from the anxiety of death.
How and why did Plato, Descartes, Schopenhauer, Marx, Nietzsche, and Heidegger change the way we see the world and ourselves? Does philosophy "progress"? Does it approach the essence of humanity? What is its usefulness in the age of globalization? What is the role of love in the "good life" that we all want to live?
"Clear, wise, and synthetic, this book reads like the best navigation guide to the entirety of Western thought." Le Figaro newspaper
