3.0 out of 5 stars
Idealist perspective,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Oxford History of Western Philosophy (Hardcover)
This book has many beautiful pictures and reads easily. In history making, everyone selects what he finds most important or interesting. In my opinion, this book is written with an overall idealist bias (which I disagree with, I am theist), and a leftist perspective in the section on politics. I was in particular disappointed but the very short treatment of Aquinas, whose philosophy is "beyond the scope of this book." I wish Copleston had written a shorter history next to his monumental work, so that it would compete with this present book.

Good but boring...,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Oxford History of Western Philosophy (Hist Western Philos Series Hwp) (Paperback)
This is a good book for someone who wants to get an idea about philosophy in general - the only drawback is that its very boring, I had a hard time to get to page 400 (i know there's more), if you'r the kind of person that can read boring stuff and go on with it, then this one is for you.
