This comprehensive introductory text with readings offers a historical overview of all major subdivisions of Western Philosophy perspectives–including both the analytic and Continental traditions–as well as Eastern philosophy, postcolonial philosophy, and feminist philosophy. Written in an engaging and captivating style, it makes philosophy accessible without oversimplifying the material, and shows that philosophy’s powerful ideas affect the lives of real people.
This book is really amazing as it presents the most important philoshophers throughout history (from ancient times to present day) in a coprehensive way. Especially enjoyed the easy language, the illustrations and of course the content that included the major points each philosopher emphasized on.
This book is the Cadillac of introductory textbooks, the finest text of its kind. The depth and breadth of the authors approach is unparalleled.
