This book, History of Western Philosophy and its relation to Socio-Political Conditions, Ancient Times to the present (History of Social Circumstances from the Erliest Time to the Present Day), is Russell’s most successful book and was translated into many languages. In this book, Bertrand Russell tries to link the history of philosophy (the world of thought) with social, political and social history (the world of reality). With valid data, Russell discusses the figures of philosophers who made major contributions to human civilization and details the great ideas, thoughts, their influence on society and subsequent philosophers. Also, special chapters on pure social history are included, which are intended to look at the relationship between a philosopher, his thoughts and socio-political conditions.
