Description
For one-semester courses in Introduction to Philosophy, History of Philosophy survey, or History of Intellectual Thought.
This anthology of readings in the survey of Western philosophy-from the Ancient Greeks to the 20th Century-is designed to be accessible to today's students. Striking a balance between major and minor figures, it features the best available translations of texts-complete works or complete selections of works-which are both central to each philosopher's thought and are widely accepted as part of the "canon." The selections are readable and accessible, while still being faithful to the original. Introductions to each historical period and to each philosopher, and an abundance of drawings, diagrams, photographs, and a timeline keep students focused throughout.
This Combined Volume contains the most important works from Baird's Philosophic Classics, Volumes I- V.
