Linda K. (Alafair) reviewed on 12/22/2010 + 45 more book reviews

I read this wonderful book a few years ago and have recommended it to several high school history teacher friends. I count this as one of my favorite non-fiction reads of all time. The author traces the history of philosophical thinking from the sacred into the secular era. It takes a while to get into the rhythm of how the book is laid out and what the author is trying to say. It it well worth reading and gaining an understanding of how the transition to secular thinking propelled modern scientific development and discovery.
