Dr. R.C. Sproul demonstrates that in order to understand the mindset of our day, we must become familiar with the streams of thought that shaped our culture. From the ideas of the ancient Greeks to the Christian thinkers of the Middle Ages and the philosophers of the modern and postmodern eras, he navigates the contours of Western philosophy throughout history. He investigates questions asked since the time of Socrates and Plato and traces the history of thought from the earliest thinkers to modern philosophers. This comprehensive survey of philosophy demonstrates how the ideas of the past still affect us today.
