A History of Philosophy. By Gunnar Skirbekk and Nils Gilje. Translated by Stefán Hjörleifsson.
Heimspelkisaga is a comprehensive work. The book has been published in a number of languages and is generally considered one of the best overviews available on the history of philosophy. The publication of this book marks a turning point in this country, as no comprehensive work on the history of philosophy has been published in Icelandic for decades. Heimspelkisaga is a comprehensive overview of Western philosophy from the days of the Ancient Greeks to the present day, which includes biographies of the most important philosophers in history, an overview of their works, and their contributions to the history of philosophy. Extensive chapters from the original texts of these philosophers are published, some of which are appearing here in Icelandic for the first time. The authors of Heimspelkisaga are faithful to the principle of philosophy that asks questions rather than providing definitive answers. The reader is guided through the history of philosophy with provocative questions and an explanation of the different solutions that Western philosophers have proposed to different, provocative problems of existence. The main author, Gunnar Skirbekk, is a specialist in the philosophy of science and history of philosophy at the University of Bergen and is internationally known for his philosophical work.
