Philosophy

by Nigel Warburton

"Warburton's Philosophy: The Classics introduces philosophy through its key writings and does not assume any previous knowledge of philosophy. It is an introduction to some of the great works of Western philosophy from Plato's Republic to Wittgenstein's Philosophical Investigations. The second edition of this book includes four new chapters covering great works by Boethius, Machiavelli, Spinoza and Rawls." "Philosophy: The Classics offers the reader an introduction to these texts, identifying and explaining the key themes as well as subjecting them to critical scrutiny. This is a book for anyone who wants to discover philosophy."--BOOK JACKET.
