History of philosophy - clearly and concisely, it is intended not only for students of secondary schools and universities of various specializations, but also for a wider public showing an interest in the development of human thinking. Let this guide be a faithful interpreter of often difficult philosophical directions, while not compromising on its claim to maximum comprehensibility and readability. This workbook, which also deals with the period of ancient Indian and Chinese spiritual teachings, can also be used as an informative and orientation guide for the subsequent deeper study of philosophy, not only as material for mechanical and "spiritless" memorization.
