Description: This introduction to philosophy is a historically organized collection of the major writings in Western philosophy, integrated with substantial commentary and study questions. A wide selection of primary source material allows a diversity of approaches to figures and themes. The texts selected include the principal works from Plato to Kant usually covered by historical anthologies. In addition, the Hellenistic and Renaissance periods are given extensive treatment,and there are substantial chapters on 19th and 20th century philosophy. At the core of this book is a wide range of pedagological features designed to promote reading comprehension, methodical class preparation, and lively class discussion.
Synopsis: Featuring a unique pedagogical apparatus, A Historical Introduction to Philosophy: Texts and Interactive Guides provides selections from the most influential primary works in philosophy from the Presocratics through the twentieth century, integrating them with substantial commentary and study questions. It offers extensive treatment of the Hellenistic and Renaissance periods-which are typically given only minimal coverage in other anthologies-and devotes substantial chapters to nineteenth- and twentieth-century philosophy. The selections are organized historically and are presented in short and manageable sections with organizational headings and subheadings; archaic and difficult material has been adapted for clarity. Accompanying commentaries simplify difficult passages, explain technical terminology, and expand upon allusions to unfamiliar literature and arguments. Study questions are interspersed throughout the chapters in "Ask Yourself" boxes and vary with respect to format and level of difficulty.They require students to reconstruct arguments, summarize passages, complete blanks in statements and arguments, evaluate the success or viability of a philosophical point, or draw contemporary parallels and applications. The questions are carefully framed so as to avoid commitment to any particular side in controversies. Instructors can assign those questions that will best suit the aims of their courses and aid their students' comprehension of the primary source material. A Historical Introduction to Philosophy is enhanced by a comprehensive time line, a glossary, and lists of suggested further readings for both primary and secondary sources. This rich and flexible anthology and interactive textbook is ideal for introduction to philosophy and history of philosophy courses.
