The Will in Philosophy

'The Story of Philosophy' by Will Durant is a pioneering work in philosophy, which I was fortunate enough to struggle through during my college days. It deserves a show-case for itself, though it is castrated by the fact that Oriental philosophers have been omitted, probably because of the fact that Advaitha requires many minds per person for even a basic level of understanding.

However, many years later, I come to the understanding that most philosophers do nothing more than describe very drab situations with incredibly flowery language. They rarely change the socioeconomintellectual situation, only describe it in incredibly flowery language. Change needs courage and leadership, philosophy is but reflection. Leadership is action.
