The seventh edition of Steven M. Cahn's Classics of Western Philosophy adds selections from Aristotle's Posterior Analytics, Plotinus' Enneads, Schopenhauer's The World as Will and Representation, Husserl's Paris Lectures, and Wittgenstein's Philosophical Investigations.

All selections appear in expertly edited editions or preeminent translations, with introductions by a team of distinguished scholars including Sara Ahbel-Rappe, Richard Bett, Steven M. Cahn, Charles Guignon, Kathleen Higgins, Patricia Kitcher, Philip Kitcher, William E. Mann, Derk Pereboom, Ruth Anna Putnam, Israel Scheffler, David Shatz, George Sher, David Sherman, Jonathan Vogel, Meredith Williams, and Michael Williams.
