Philosophy: The Classics

Philosophy: The Classics

The second edition of this best-seller includes four entirely new chapters on classics by Boethius, Machiavelli, Spinoza and Rawls. In his inimitable style, Nigel Warburton takes us on a guided tour through philosophy's greatest works, from Plato's <EM>Republic</EM> to Wittgenstein's <EM>Philosophical Investigations</EM>. Each chapter explores a key classic text, identifying and explaining core themes as well as subjecting them to critical scrutiny.<BR>These classic texts deal with problems that are as important today as when they were written, and <EM>Philosophy: The Classics</EM> offers an accessible introduction for all those who hesitated to approach them - until now.
