			        		&quot;Excellent on current issues of concern; e.g., man vs. machine. Zeno section is terrific!&quot;--J. Anderson, Orange Coast College, CA&quot;Excellent selections and organization.&quot;--Gerald N. Callahan, Colorado State University&quot;An excellent, comprehensive, well-balanced collection.&quot;--David Detmer, Purdue University-Calumet&quot;This book is a distillation of much of the best I was required to read and master as an undergradaute at UCLA in the mid-1980s. I would unhesitatingly adopt it.&quot;--Lawrence Fike, California State University-Fullerton&quot;I&apos;ve used the second edition for three semesters....[T]he readings are representative of some of the best philosophy has to offer.&quot;--Mary F.L. Stevenson, University of Colorado at DenverPraise for the previous edition: &quot;The best anthology of philosophical works for a general introduction to philosophy. It combines a perfect mix of classic and contemporary sources, and the major areas of philosophy are represented. It is great to finally have one book that does it all.&quot;--James M. Hughes, University of South Carolina

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Book.
*by K***T on March 4, 2013*

Had all the readings I needed for Philosophy. The one reading that wasn't in this edition wasn't in the newest edition either. The prof had to make copies for everyone to have.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent introduction to the discipline.
*by M***F on October 13, 2012*

The content is clear and easily accessible.  The study questions are particularly helpful, too.  I am beginning student of philosophy and enjoy using this text as part of a bi-weekly study group.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Not too bad
*by A***A on January 22, 2014*

It was readable but the cover was pretty messed up. Either way, it got me through the semester. No pages missing.
