Here is material for a complete introductory course in philosophy. The reader is presented with a comprehensive selection of the major classical texts, all accompanied by explanatory commentary and criticism. Each work is placed in its historical context - from the pre-Socratic to the twentieth century - showing how each author marked a milestone in the history of Western thought.
