Zabilješke: An outstanding, popular-styled exposition of the great thinkers of the Western World (starting with the Greeks before Socrates and Plato) who are the fountainhead of all Western European (including British & American, and ultimately the whole world) philosophy - political, 'metaphysical', ethical, religious (Jewish, Christian and even Islamic). Russell demonstrates that even the bare beginnings of what became true scientific thought: theory of basic 'elements' - atoms, chemical interactions etc. is foundational in these earliest thinkers (Empedocles, Pythagoras and Democritus). Highly recommended! Wisdom of the West is a colorfully illustrated version of Russell's more scholarly History of Western Philosophy.
