A New History of Western Philosophy: The Human Mind and Reality (Unabridged‪)‬

This book examines how the human mind has constructed Western philosophy.

What would a new history of Western philosophy be? Aren't there so many studies like that on the market already? Most histories of Western philosophy go in chronological order from the pre-Socratics up to the modern philosophers.

But why does it have to be that way?

Maybe a better approach would be to emphasize themes and ideas in Western philosophy instead of mainly concentrating on individual philosophers and their personalities. Or even going to motives about why these individuals would decide to pursue philosophy in the first place and all these motives common among philosophers and investigate whether these are good motives or maybe not motives that are salubrious to the psychological health of Western civilization.
