The Examined Life

About this book

"Most people know the names of the major Western Philosophers, but few really understand philosophy. In this Introduction to Western philosophy, the primary sources speak for themselves." "Over 35 excerpts from important philosophers - from Aristotle to Hume and contemporary thinkers - have been collected by expert editors, who have also contributed provocative introductions to the works, offering insight and access to the philosophers' own words."--BOOK JACKET.
