One of the world's most famous and influential books...this eloquent and moving work draws and enriches the tradition of Stoicism, which stressed the search for inner peace and ethical certainty in an apparently chaotic world. Serenity was to be achieved by emulating in one's personal conduct the underlying orderliness and lawfulness of nature. And in the face of the inevitable pain, loss, and death – the suffering at the core of life – [the author] counsels stoic detachment from the things that are beyond one's control and a focus on one's own will and perception.

No philosopher has aroused such diametrically opposed views about his status in the history of thought as Martin Heidegger....[The author]'s purpose is not explicitly to take sides pro or contra Heidegger. Rather he writes as someone who in his own work on poetics, language and history has found Heidegger to be massively present and in the path of further thinking. His book is not simply a masterly description of Heidegger's thought: he enriches it by the power of his own thinking, illuminating the 'unlit places' that Heidegger explored and bringing the reader nearer to that 'clearing' which Heidegger also sought.

Montaigne created a new literary genre – the essay – and his own essays, still compulsively readable today, had a widespread influence on thought and literature in the Renaissance and beyond....He puts forward unconventional views on a wide variety of subjects…was remarkably free from ethnocentrism and at the same time acutely aware of the ethnocentrism of other people. He was intrigued by human diversity, and…prepared to take private life as seriously as public life.

People have obscurely sensed that Jean-Paul Sartre was occupied with a philosophy immediately involved in the peculiar confusions that have beset this generation in all aspects of the culture, private as well as public. The chief effort of this work is to face the implications for personal action of a universe without purpose.

With irony and perception, humour and sympathy, [the author] combines the characters and customs of the life she knew best to create a richly detailed pageant of English provincial life in the early nineteenth century which evokes comparison with Tolstoy and Jane Austen.
