哲学并没有定义，并没有人能解答哲学是什么。哲学是一种特殊的思维运动，是对绝对的追求，哲学是解答难题中的难题的学问，哲学所面对的问题并没有正确答案，甚至可能永远也找不出答案。它是一门学问，是价值观，是思想，是方法，是对基本原则进行的理性重建，是惊奇的人对真理的不断寻求一这些人可能来自各个行当，可能是诗人、作家，比如卢梭、拜伦；可能是冲锋陷阵的军事家，比如亚历山大大帝、拿破仑；也可能只是一名授业解惑的教师，比如本书作者弗兰克·梯利。他们在学术上也许完全不是哲学家，但是他们却如此深远地影响了哲学思潮的气质，以致于如果忽略了他们，我们就很难真正理解哲学的发展。哲学，就是这样一门学问，带着仰望天空的人类求知的本性，逐步前行，逐渐令万物脱去种种俗世的遮蔽，而将本真展现出来，由此，把自己展现为一种真正解放性的力量。

《西方哲学史（原著注释版）（英文版）》是一部讲述西方哲学发展历程的著作，其雏形为弗兰克·梯利教授在大学任教时的讲义。

弗兰克·梯利著的《西方哲学史（原著注释版）（英文版）》共有中英文两本。具体分为希腊哲学、中世纪哲学、近代哲学三编。往下又划分为自然哲学、知识和行为问题、重建时期、伦理运动、宗教运动、基督教和中世纪哲学的古典来源、经院哲学的形成期、文艺复兴时期的哲学、英国经验主义的开端、欧洲大陆的唯理论、启蒙运动哲学、康德的批判哲学、德国的唯心主义、黑格尔之后的德国哲学、法国和英国的哲学、法对理性主义和唯心主义等二十篇。篇下设章，讲述更为具体。文后附原书索引，便于读者检索细目。中文字数接近七十万，是一部规模宏大的哲学史著作。此次中英文两册一起出版，规模浩大，出版方特意延请业内的两位哲学博士共同翻译打造校准，力求让此选题更加精准、完善，让更多学人、哲学爱好者，一起了解并传播西方哲学。
