Review
'...these are very useful books, both of which I would recommend as valuable contributions to introductory literature in the field of philosophy.' - Elizabeth Burns, Think
Product Description
Philosophy: Key Texts is a clear, concise and engaging introduction to some of the most important works of Western philosophy. Designed for complete beginners, it unlocks five classic texts by Aristotle, Descartes, Hume, Sartre and Russell. The main arguments of each work are vividly brought to life, along with a selection of major criticisms which will help you to think about and question the positions presented. A general introduction provides essential advice on how to read philosophy effectively.
Each chapter contains:
- an introduction which sets out the context of the book under discussion and its background
- a systematic commentary on the text
- a summary and glossary of key terms to help you understand the main concepts
- suggestions for further reading
Invaluable at the start of a course of study, as a revision aid, or as a lucid, jargon-free guide for anyone who wants an insight into philosophy, Philosophy: Key Texts can be used independently of, or together with, its companion volume Philosophy: Key Themes.
