Sir Anthony Kenny is one of Britain's most distinguished academic figures. He has been Pro-Vice-Chancellor of the University of Oxford, Master of Balliol College, Chairman of the Board of the British Library, and President of the British Academy. He has published more than forty books on philosophy and history.
from the reviews of the preceding volume... This wonderful book ... is not only an authoritative guide to the history of philosophy but also a compelling introduction to every major area of philosophical inquiry... Kennys prose is exceptionally clear ... He conveys his rich subject matter with a light touch of which only the greatest of writers are capable... This, combined with his breadth and depth of learning and philosophical sophistication, make reading this book hugely rewarding. It is also worth mentioning that the book is beautifully illustrated ... One is left eager for subsequent volumes and convinced that the intellectual cosmos is, indeed, boundlessly rich. James Ladyman, Times Higher Education Supplement
