Kleine Weltgeschichte der Philosophie

Störig's account, which has already become a classic in the philosophical literature, has now reached its 18th edition. It gives special attention to the lively debates and increasing collaboration between philosophy and research in the individual scientific disciplines that can be seen in central topics such as language, the place of humanity in the universe, the ecological crisis, and the relationship between brain and mind. With a print run of more than half a million in German and translations into Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Czech, Hungarian and Japanese, Störig's work is one of the most successful books in the German language.

Prof. Hans Joachim Störig was a lecturer, translator and publishing director. He was Director of the Institute of Lexicography in Munich from 1963 to 1983, and from 1983 to 1991 he taught German as a Foreign Language at the University of Munich.
