A Philosopher's Philosophy

Bertrand Russell's A History of Western Philosophy is dated, but a classic in the field by one of the 20th centuries most influential philosophers. It is interesting to see how he handles his predecessors. Mostly fair, but he was also a prominent atheist, so the more religious philosophers get a bit of a slanted take by Russell. Russell won the Nobel Prize for Literature so he writes extraordinarily well and can truly explain the central philosophical problems throughout the ages.
