A Beginner's History of Philosophy, Vol. 1: Ancient and Mediæval Philosophy

Though written in the early 1900s, “A Beginner's History of Philosophy” is just as relevant today as it was when it was first written. Meant to be an introduction to the topic, Cushman, a passionate philosophy scholar, makes sure to break down the fundamental parts of the topic. The result is an easy-to-read and easy-to-understand text that has been inspiring students to delve deeper into philosophy for over a century.
There have been dozens of philosophy textbooks written over the years, but none of them manage to balance education and entertainment quite like Cushman.
