The Passion of the Western Mind is a complete guide to Western civilisation and the philosophical ideas that have shaped our world view. From Plato to Hegel, from Augustine to Nietzsche, from Copernicus to Freud, Richard Tarnas described profound philosophical concepts simply, but without simplifying them. Ten years in the making, The Passion of the Western Mind was hailed as an instant classic on publication. In it, Tarnas provides a compelling account of the evolution of the Western mind and its changing conception of reality. Advances on several fronts - in philosophy, psychology, religous studies and the history of science - have shed new light on this remarkable evolution and Tarnas draws together these advances to set forth a new perspective for understanding out culture's intellectual and spiritual history. The result is a complete liberal education in a single volume.

Seller's Description:
Fair. It's been through some chapters of life! Expect visible wear-creases notes highlights maybe even a splash of water here and there. Perfect for readers who love a book with history.
This book came highly recommended, by John Cleese, who praised it greatly. By the time I got one-quarter through I was disappointed. There's really *nothing* between the covers of the book that is in any meaningful way new or insightful, at least not to anyone who paid any attention whatsoever in history and lit classes in school. The book's a freshman-level survey of Western Civilization's philosophical, political, and cultural underpinnings and development over time. Basic stuff.
