Description

Incorporating the insights of new coeditor Lewis Vaughn, Classics of Philosophy, Third Edition, is the most comprehensive anthology of writings in Western philosophy in print.

Spanning 2,500 years of thought, it is ideal for introduction to philosophy and history of philosophy courses.

It features more than seventy selections by forty philosophers-along with fragments from the Pre-Socratics-offering students and instructors an extensive and economicalcollection of the major works of the Western tradition.

This volume contains the most important writings from Thales to Rawls; twenty of these are complete works, while the others are judiciously abridged so that little of value to the student is lost.

A lucid introduction, including a brief biographical sketch,accompanies each of the featured philosophers.
