[b]Rating[/b]: 5 out of 5 stars History's Greatest Philosophers gives us a look at the people, those individuals who are credited with being some of the most impressive, deep-thinking, and impressive people to have lived. I've never been much of a student of philosophy, but a look at the histories of these great minds, and how their beginnings, their trials and tribulations, and the world in which they lived that all combined to give them their ideas and their philosophies, was fascinating. Many of the philosophers I have been familiar with, others I was reading about for the first time. Some of these I will be reading about more.

[b]Rating[/b]: 5 out of 5 stars I was always intrigued by the life of Eva Peron so this was a really interesting book to come across. I found it so informative and full of information. I highly recommend it if you are interested in her life and history.

The volume under review is the seventh and final book produced under the aegis of that project, and a fitting swansong. Steele builds on the methodological innovations of CREWS and provides an intellectual bridge to the follow-up VIEWS Project
