This is the eighth volume in Elbert Hubbard’s popular Little Journeys series, in which the American writer offers informal, biographical sketches of notable figures — here turning to the great philosophers. Hubbard combines accounts of their lives and homes with reflections on their ideas, written in the accessible, anecdotal style that made the series a wide success in the early twentieth century.
This free EPUB edition has been carefully cleaned and formatted for modern e-readers. More an appreciative introduction than a technical study, it offers a readable, period portrait of the thinkers and the personalities behind influential philosophical ideas.
