In keeping with those virtues which have made it the leading collection of its kind, the fifth edition of Classics of Western Philosophy features unabridged works (or substantive selections) in preeminent and thoughtfully annotated translations and editions. As before, Introductions by a team of distinguished scholars including William Mann, Steven Cahn, Patricia W. Kitcher, George Sher, Derk Pereboom, Philip W. Kitcher, Charles Guignon, Israel Scheffler, and Jonathan Vogel offer authoritative guidance to the philosophers and their work. And now coverage extends into the twentieth century, culminating in a judicious-and nontechnical-selection of philosophical writings that are both classic in their own right and representative of main currents of recent philosophical thought.
