Pictorial History 

 of Philosophy 



By DAGOBERT D. RUNES 



Here, in vivid pictures and illuminating 

 text, are more than three thousand years of 

 world philosophy. From Socrates to Suzuki 

 . . . from the Upanishads to the Existential- 

 ists . . . from Moses to Einstein . . . this 

 fascinating pictorial survey embraces the 

 major schools of philosophy, famous books 

 of wisdom, and great major thinkers of 

 both East and West. 



The editor, Dr. Dagobert D. Runes, has 

 collected nearly 1,000 portraits, photo- 

 graphs, facsimiles, archaeological, illustra- 

 tions and other pictorial material germane 

 to the field of philosophy. This achievement, 

 the result of years of research, was made 

 possible through the co-operation of lead- 

 ing universities, libraries, museums, and pri- 

 vate collectors, both here and abroad. 



This is the first time that such likenesses, 

 traditional, artistic and photographic, have 

 been assembled in one volume. The repro- 

 ductions of paintings, statues, and ftther art- 

 works relating to the great thinkers, mystics 

 and fundamental scientists of all lands and 

 ages will enrich anyone's enjoyment and ap- 

 preciation of the world's philosophies.
