Featuring accessible and straightforward prose, this chronological book with readings maintains philosophical rigor in its discussion of the seminal philosophers and ideas throughout history. To help foster an appreciation for the dynamic of the discipline, Pauses for Thought sections motivate the relevancy of philosophical ideas to everyday life. Sections on women are included for each of the philosophers and special "Connections" sections at the chapter conclusions provide transitions between major areas of thought.
