The great philosophers, in their search to understand the meaning of things, have left behind great resources of insight into the human spirit which are as relevant today as ever. 'Philosophers Of The Spirit' introduces the modern reader to the wisdom of the great philosophers in an easily readable form which captures in a nutshell the essence of their ideas. These little books both inform and inspire.
