(It has not commonly been the lot of philosophers, as it i...)
It has not commonly been the lot of philosophers, as it is of great poets, that their names should become household words. We should hardly call anE nglishman well read if he had not heard the name of Sophocles or Moliere. An educated man is expected to know at least who these great writers were, and to understand an allusion to the Antigone or Le Misanthrope. But we call a man well read if his mind is stored with the verse of poets and the prose of historians, even though he were ignorant of the fame of Descartes or Kant. Yet there are a few philosophers whose influence on thought and language has been so extensive that no one who reads can be ignorant of their names, and that every man who speaks the language of educated Europeans is constantly using their vocabulary. A mong this few Aristotle holds not the lowest place. We have all heard of him, as we have all heard of Homer. (Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)

The son of an eminent Columbia University historian, Randall as a very young man established his fame as a historian of philosophy with The Making of the Modern Mind (1926). An exponent of philosophical naturalism, Randall synthesized the philosophies of his teachers, Woodbridge and Dewey, reinterpreting Aristotle (1960) in Deweyan terms and the naturalists process metaphysics in terms of Aristotelian substantialism in Nature and Historical Experience (1958). His Career of Philosophy (1962-1965) and the unfinished Philosophy after Darwin (1977) constitute scholarship of the first rank on the history of modern philosophy.
