Full of great insights about the point and mode of philosophy both as history and as normative work helping readers better understand themselves as philosophers in their historical context. Summing Up: Highly recommended.--A. Jaeger, Benedictine College ""CHOICE connect"" George Lucas has provided the reader with an engaging invitation to consider the importance of the history of philosophy at a time when philosophers have turned away from the study of the great ideas it contains. This work is fundamental for anyone who wishes to think through what philosophy is.-- ""Donald Phillip Verene, Emory University"" An engaging and masterful interpretation of the history of Western philosophy, The Ordering of Time is much more than that. Profoundly ethical, this is a book for our times, troubled as they are by doomful threats such as the COVID-19 pandemic, global economic depression, and climate change. George Lucas shows how to care about the past--its injustice as well as its grandeur and everyday facticity--so that we recover and respect insights that make life worth living and presenting to those who follow after us.-- ""John K. Roth, Edward J. Sexton Professor of Philosophy, Claremont McKenna College""
