As his inflammatory manuscripts circulated underground, Spinoza lived a humble existence in The Hague, grinding optical lenses to make ends meet. Meanwhile, in the glittering salons of Paris, Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz was climbing the ladder of courtly success.

Story
Three of the seven “prophets” presented in this book—Descartes, Rousseau, and Nietzsche—provoked or facilitated, through their intellectual activity, great upheavals. The others—Pascal, Kierkegaard, Dostoevsky, and Soloviev—predicted these very upheavals but showed us the way to overcome them. If we study all seven of these philosophers in depth, we will have an easier time grasping the essence and origin of the universal drama now unfolding before our eyes and we will make wise and courageous choices for a better future.
