The Story of Philosophy: The Lives and Opinions of the Greater Philosophers by Will Durant
4.0
This book can be the vital entry point to philosophy. I've been reading and re-reading some portions for a couple of years now. Each philosopher has their own chapter, so if you just want to read about a certain one, you can do it.
Will Durant, the writer of the book was himself a historian and philosopher and he offers his criticisms. But it's important to keep in mind that this book was written in 1926, almost a hundred years ago. So the reader must be aware that the philosophical world has changed a lot along with scientific discoveries over the years.
