I know Russell's A History of Western Philosophy is not very well regarded; but what about Kenny's book? Is it worth it? Is it accurate?
>>
>>9336429
No.
>>
>>9336461
Do you have any recommendations?
>>
>>9336429
I don't know anon but I'm planning to read that as well so i'll just watch your thread

Fuck off with books like that.

If you don't study philosophy by intensely studying every single philosophical text ever written in chronological order, then you will never understand philosophy.

I can tell you're an autodidact idiot. Everybody knows you need to study ancient Greek first, and study it for at least 10 years.

>>9336463
Stop reading and hit the clubs.

>>9336473
I don't have time for that, I'm deducing every math theorem by myself without external influence.

>>9336472
Probably won't get any serious answers.

I liked it but I'm an autodidact so what do I know. several professors whose opinions seem respectable have given it favorable reviews if you search they're opinions on the book are probably available online
>>
I'm reading: The Passion of the Western Mind, by Richard Tarnas.
>>
That book is a shitty. Keep away from it, trust me.
>>
>>9336473
looks like youre not at nietzche yet anon, your making a lot of false assumptions here
>>
Isn't Kenny the one with the absolute retarded understanding of Aquinas?
>>
How did /lit/ turn into such a shithole? Anyway, yeah it seems to be well reviewed by philosophy profs.
>>
>>9336832
It doesn't matter, Aquinas was a non-cognitive hack.
