THE PHILOSOPHER - JUSTIN E H SMITH KARTONIERT (TB)

What would the global history of philosophy look like if it were told not as a story of ideas
but as a series of job descriptions - ones that might have been used to fill the position of
philosopher at different times and places over the past 2 500 years? The Philosopher does just
that  providing a new way of looking at the history of philosophy by bringing to life six kinds
of figures who have occupied the role of philosopher in a wide range of societies around the
world over the millennia - the Natural Philosopher  the Sage  the Gadfly  the Ascetic  the
Mandarin  and the Courtier. The result is at once an unconventional introduction to the global
history of philosophy and an original exploration of what philosophy has been - and perhaps
could be again.
