Description
"In this anthology we have collected a variety of readings for use in a course or sequence of courses designed to introduce students to philosophy. We
...
have based the selection on various introductory courses at Stanford University, the University of California, Riverside, and the Claremont Colleges. These courses are built around classic texts supplemented by shorter selections from the past and present. We have included in this anthology not only texts that we have found successful, but others that a survey of colleagues at other institutions have identified as suitable. Thus, the total number of selections is larger than can reasonably be covered in a semester, and instructors will want to pick those that fit their approach. We have included some footnotes from the original selections but have eliminated others. In some cases, footnotes were eliminated because they could not be understood in the context of the selection; in other cases, this was done simply to save space. The remaining footnotes have been renumbered"-- Provided by publisher.
