‘This volume provides a strong statement of the continuing
case that the classics of Western thought ought to be read and
reflected upon as a component of the well-examined life. It also
expands what counts as a classic, bringing the list up through to
the 1960s, thus providing a thoughtful, pointed, and, above all,
useful window into the development of Western thought over its
whole history.’ James Turner Johnson, Rutgers
University
‘This impressive collection of essays – many by some of the best-known philosophers writing today – provides a unique and first-rate introduction to Western philosophy from the time of the Pre-Socratics to the second half of the twentieth century. All the essays are clearly written, highly informative, and generous in their suggestions for further reading.’ Brian Davies, Fordham University
