Squashed Philosophers

PlatoImage via WikipediaI recently ran onto this website created by Glyn Hughes It's a timeline of philosophers, starting with Plato at 355 bc and moving ever closer to today. . At each point along the way you have a choice of reading a condensed version of what the philosopher was stating or a more detailed version of his thinking.Cicero at 50 bc or Thomas Paine in 1792, or Charles Darwin in 1859 or Sir Karl Popper in 1957.

Mr. Hughes has listed some 45 philosophers and their ideas.
Dip into the timeline and enjoy.
