Celebrating the completion of The New History of Western Philosophy

From the OUPblog: "This year has seen the completion of Sir Anthony Kenny's acclaimed four-volume series A New History of Western Philosophy. To celebrate the occasion we recently held a wonderful party at The Oxford and Cambridge Club in London. Sir Anthony gave a speech, and has kindly let us reproduce an extract from it. Here he talks about the challenges, questions, and goals he encountered as he wrote the series"
