Recenzja
A delight. It is written with both wit and scholarship, providing a wonderful overall picture of Western philosophy up to the Renaissance. -- Sir Roger Penrose[Gottlieb] writes with fluency and lucidity, with a gift for making even difficult matters seem comprehensible. -- Richard Jenkins
New York Times
Gottlieb is as enjoyable as he is intellectually stimulating. -- Robert Conquest
