Introduction · · · · · ·
"From Confucius and Socrates to Kant and Descartes, and then to Nietzsche, Russell and Beauvoir, this book introduces the lives and main ideas of more than 100 philosophers, places their lives and thoughts in a broader historical and cultural context, takes us closer to these thinkers who have left their names in history, and presents the development of Eastern and Western philosophy over thousands of years.

Through the carefully selected portraits, photos, illustrations, materials, manuscripts, and letters in this book, we can understand how philosophers think about the various practical problems of their time and how they think about life from different perspectives. Ultimately, it provides us with valuable wisdom for understanding ourselves and the current world, and opens up various possibilities for us to live out our true selves.
