Description

Explores the lives and wisdom of history's greatest philosophers, revealing timeless lessons for modern life.

What does it mean to be a philosopher? Being a deep thinker? Taking a stand against the norms of society? Being really good at winning an argument? The beauty of philosophy is that there is no one answer and that it's worth asking that question across every aspect of the human condition.

In History's Greatest Philosophers: Classical Wisdom for Modern Times, Jamie Ryder journeys through the lives of some of the world's most radical thinkers, leaders, politicians and creatives to uncover the truth of philosophy and different wisdom traditions.

From the political arenas of Cicero and Niccolo Machiavelli to the everyday living of Mary Wollstonecraft and Sojourner Truth, get a bird's eye view into what it means to live and die by what you believe in. Discover ageless truths about the nature of the world and human relationships. Learn how to practice philosophy and not just talk about it.
