Durant lucidly describes the philosophical systems of such world-famous “monarchs of the mind” as Plato, Aristotle, Francis Bacon, Spinoza, Kant, Voltaire, and Nietzsche. Along with their ideas, he offers their flesh-and-blood biographies, placing their thoughts within their own time and place and elucidating their influence on our modern intellectual heritage. This book is packed with wisdom and wit.

Nice entry level book.

Where does The Story of Philosophy rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
As per Headline - good entry level book that gives access to some of the great philosophers backgrounds and their histories that perhaps led to their particular philosophical leanings. Looks at the development of the personality of noted philosophers in line with historical events influencing their life and growth of thought.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
A lot to take in (for me) and so I preferred (as I do) to take it slowly over time.

The Prince, Machiavelli's 'little book', was written in 1513 and is dedicated to Lorenzo de' Medici. It remains a compelling and controversial treatise on politics, dispensing often cynical, sometimes brutal advice on gaining power and retaining it. Essential listening for our masters perhaps, but most certainly for those of us who would not be mastered. The text used here is the unabridged and classic translation by W. K. Marriott.

What made the experience of listening to The Prince the most enjoyable?
Knowing this is considered his most recognized work it was easy to see and appreciate his foundation and political leanings. A good introduction for those that want to go on to more in-depth investigation of his works and political strategies - with this on mind Great Courses offer great follow-up insight and courses for those interested in his work.
