About this product

Product Information

First published in 1992 this anthology quickly became the standard for multicultural introductions to philosophy. Composed of a group of culturally diverse readings addressing a selection of seminal philosophical questions in ethics, epistemology, and metaphysics, VOICES OF WISDOM introduces students to the traditional terrain of philosophy as developed in the European tradition, yet in a manner that embraces significant philosophical insights borne out of different cultural legacies.

Insight on Philosophy
I purchased Voices of Wisdom by Gary E. Kessler because it was a required textbook for my Philosophy & Religion class. The book provided insight on theories of various Philosophers. Voices of Wisdom was very instrumental in my studies to help me understand, but not necessarily agree with, the reasoning behind the theories.

PHIL 1301 text book
I bought this book because I need it for my Intro to Philosophy class. I don't really care too much for it, but its alright. Not my first choice- but since I had to have it- it suits my needs. The readings are very intense- mentally. They require lots of intellect- and its not something that can just be skimmed over.

Voices of Wisdom (2006)
It was a useful book. I had to buy it for school. Although, I wish it had an index and I felt that the price was way too high for what it was worth.
