description: Among the living adventures in the world, as this book proposes to show, philosophy comes pretty close to holding the first place. There is no excursion so exciting as a trip to the summits of wisdom, no journey so thrilling as a philosophic flight.For the leading philosophers were no armchair heroes, no cap-and-gown warriors in an ivory tower. More often than not, they were daring pioneers, the vanguard soldiers in the battle for truth.
