Erkenne die Welt

Richard David Precht explains to us in three volumes the great questions that humanity has posed throughout the centuries. In the first part of his three-volume history of philosophy, Richard David Precht describes the development of Western thought from antiquity to the Middle Ages. Knowledgeably and in detail, he connects the threads of humanity's great questions and traces the unfolding of the most important ideas—from the origins of Western philosophy along the beautiful coast of Asia Minor to the monasteries and study rooms, churches, and centers of power of the late Middle Ages. In doing so, he embeds philosophy within the political, economic, and social issues of the respective eras, making it accessible and engaging for a broader readership. A book that helps to gain a deep insight into the history of philosophy.
