About this product

Product Information

Explore the central issues of philosophy through an engaging combination of classic and contemporary sources. With over seventy non-technical readings, the editors of PHILOSOPHICAL HORIZONS have put together the easiest to follow and yet most informative philosophy selections ever. Unlike any other introductory anthology, you can read fully annotated masterpieces from the history of philosophy in their entirety, including Platos Euthyphro, Apology, and Crito, the Encheiridion of Epictetus, Descartess Meditations, Berkeleys Treatise, Humes An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding and Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion, Kants Groundwork, Mills Utilitarianism, Jamess The Will to Believe, and Sartres The Humanism of Existentialism. These are juxtaposed with related work from contemporary philosophers so that you can experience how the issues raised in these classic works of philosophy are debated in contemporary times.

Reviews
"The reading selections are impeccable, which gives the book a wide audience appeal."- David Aiken , Ferris State University, "This matching of 'a dozen masterpieces from the history [of philosophy]' is absolutely vital and can be further developed by each teacher.I believe the authorsapproach is truly compatible with a broad acceptance of the humanities as the set of disciplines that broaden the mind and I find their pluralistic style to be what I want students to take from such a course."- Michael Gendre , Middlesex Community College, "It looks like a wonderful new introductory text that combines classic texts with contemporary ones in a well organized form."- Richard Curtis , Seattle Central Community College, "Absolutely the authors are filling a need with this volume. How to balance classic and contemporary philosophy in an introductory course is a difficult task and this textbook provides flexibility by allowing individual instructors to balance their courses how they see fit."- Angela Coventry , Portland State University, "This matching of 'a dozen masterpieces from the history [of philosophy]' is absolutely vital and can be further developed by each teacher.I believe the authors' approach is truly compatible with a broad acceptance of the humanities as the set of disciplines that broaden the mind and I find their pluralistic style to be what I want students to take from such a course."- Michael Gendre , Middlesex Community College, "The anthology is an attractive choice for those who want to present to their students some of the main issues of philosophy in a way that makes clear the historical continuity of the philosophical tradition."- Jennifer Lackey, Northwestern University
