——哲學不會使我們富有，卻會令我們自由。——

The Story of Philosophy《哲學的故事》是美國哲學傢威爾?杜蘭特的經典力作。自問世以來，經久暢銷不衰。齣版頭一年連續再版22次，迅速譯成18種語言，掀起全球哲學熱潮。

本書是英文原版，用講故事的方法，介紹瞭有史以來的主要哲學傢的生平及其觀點，從蘇格拉底、柏拉圖、亞裏士多德到叔本華、尼采再到柏格森，羅素、杜威等。在闡述每位哲學傢思想的同時，生動地介紹瞭他們生活的時代背景、生活境遇和情感經曆。威爾?杜蘭特以其一貫的淵博學識、深入淺齣的行文，成功地將看似艱深的哲學寫得極富人情。因為，思想的發展也是一部激動人心的浪漫傳奇。

“杜蘭特首先是一個曆史學傢，他博聞強識，能將過去與當下融會貫通。也因此，他又被譽為20世紀重要的哲學傢之一。”   —— 杜威

“《哲學的故事》在普及哲學上做瞭一項開創性的工作。有的地方朗朗上口，令人想大聲讀齣來！”—— 威爾?羅傑斯（美國作傢，社會評論傢）

“《哲學的故事》或許還可以叫‘哲學之美’，因為威爾?杜蘭特對所有的思想賦予一種同等的愛和理解、批評和吸收。他的目的不僅僅是寫哲學史，而且讓我們隨同這些偉大的哲學傢們在思想領域一起探索進步。”——《星期六評論》

The Story of Philosophy chronicles the ideas of the great thinkers, the economic and intellectual environments which influenced them, and the personal traits and adventures out of which each philosophy grew.
A brilliant and concise account of the lives and ideas of the great philosophers—Plato, Aristotle, Bacon, Spinoza, Voltaire, Kant, Schopenhauer, Spencer, Nietzsche, Bergson, Croce, Russell, Santayana, James and Dewey—The Story of Philosophy is one of the great books of our time. Few write for the nonspecialist as well as Will Durant, and this book is a splendid example of his eminently readable scholarship. Durant's insight and wit never cease to dazzle; The Story of Philosophy is a key book for any reader who wishes to survey the history and development of philosophical ideas in the Western world.

威爾?杜蘭特（Will Durant，1885―1981），普利策奬和自由勛章獲得者。他用五十多年的時間寫就一係列廣受好評的重要著作，《哲學的故事》、十一捲本《世界文明史》（後幾捲是他和妻子阿裏爾的閤著）、《曆史上偉大的思想》等。其終生緻力於將哲學從學術象牙塔中解放齣來，讓它進入普通人的生活。《哲學的故事》齣版後，首年連續再版22次，迅速譯成18種語言，掀起瞭全球哲學熱潮。

WILL DURANT (1885-1981) was awarded the Pulitzer Prize (1968) and the Presidential Medal of Freedom (1977). He spent over fifty years writing his critically acclaimed eleven-volume series, The Story of Civilization (the later volumes written in conjunction with his wife, Ariel). A champion of human rights issues such as the brotherhood of man and social reform long before such issues were popular, Durant, through his writings, continues to educate and entertain readers the world over.
