Synopsis

This is a flexible and affordable collection of classic and contemporary primary sources in philosophy. The readings cover all the main topics of Western Philosophy, and each one is carefully edited to be long enough to present a self-contained argument but not so lengthy that students lose track of the main point. A wide selection of new readings at an attractive price makes this text the most versatile introduction to philosophy reader on the market.
