Product Description
Review
"Students with little or no background in philosophy would likely find it difficult—if not impossible—to comprehend the works of many of the philosophers addressed in each volume on their own. However, this text's informative introductions and careful selection of readings make it possible for students to get a foothold in their primary texts....Students are afforded the opportunity to engage with the works of these illustrious but often inscrutable thinkers." — Jennifer McMahon, Centre College
"This collection is by far the best I have seen in this area....And I certainly prefer having all of my material together in one text rather than having students purchase half a dozen books, which then still require supplementation. I cannot imagine a better format or selection of materials that would tempt me away from this collection for another." — Ted Toadvine, Emporia State University
Book Description
For one-semester courses in Introduction to Philosophy, History of Philosophy, History of Philosophy survey, or History of Intellectual Thought.

Introductions to each historical period and to each philosopher, an abundance of drawings, diagrams, photographs, and a timeline help to keep students focused throughout.

Excellent Introduction to Philosophy Text,
By
This review is from: Philosophic Classics: From Plato to Derrida (Paperback)
If you teach Introduction to Philosophy using a historical approach, this is the text I recommend. I used "The Philosophic Classics 2nd edition, From Plato to Nietzsche" for my classes and was looking for a text with the same basic works with some more contemporary materials. I find the updated 3rd edition, "From Plato to Derrida" the perfect solution. Instead of having to look through more textbooks for the right stuff, this is it.

Philosophic Classics from Plato to Derida,
By Timothy Smith - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Philosophic Classics: From Plato to Derrida (Paperback)
Another master piece for your books shelf. This work is more in depth and delves into snippets of the various authors' works. We are assigned this book in a class for MTh. An excellent resource, a book shelf keeper.
