- Summary:
- "I define 'philosophy' as the attempt to explain systematically, and without relying on superhuman agency, the fundamental features of the universe and the place of human beings in it. This is not the only possible definition, but is the most revealing one for our period, in which we find the advent of 'philosophy' (or something very like it) in Greece, India, and China, and nowhere else"-- Provided by publisher.
