410. Ideas and Men: The Story of Western Thought, by Crane Brinton (read 2 Feb 1952) I finished reading this on Feb 2, 1952, and said of it: Don't know if I got very much out of this book but at least it does serve to put me back at a more abstruse level . I am in danger of forgetting all i know unless I take steps to expand my knowledge of philosophy. This book, tracing the history of Western thought, was a not too interesting account of philosophical, sociological, and political thought through the years, beginning with the Greeks.
