The Sources of Philosophy
Morrow, Felix | October 28, 1931 issue

The article discusses the book "A History of Greek Philosophy." Volume 2 :"The Sophists, Socrates, Plato," and Volume 3: "Aristotle," by B.A.G. Fuller. In the hope of proving that "the history of philosophy constitutes one of the best detective stories ever written." Professor Fuller has been led to "sugar-coat the pill" with some flippant writing, occasional humor, and such unsuccessful analogies as "Philosophy, like the stock market, has its ups and downs." Professor Fuller is a highly competent scholar, and his analyses and summaries of doctrine are always accurate and occasionally felicitous; but his method of injecting interest into the material is false, remaining extraneous to the subject matter.
