Philosophical Horizons: Introductory Readings
"Absolutely the authors are filling a need with this volume. How to balance classic and contemporary philosophy in an introductory course is a difficult task and this textbook provides flexibility by allowing individual instructors to balance their courses how they see fit."- Angela Coventry , Portland State University"It looks like a wonderful new introductory text that combines classic texts with contemporary ones in a well organized form."- Richard Curtis , Seattle Central Community College"This matching of 'a dozen masterpieces from the history [of philosophy]' is absolutely vital and can be further developed by each teacher.I believe the authors' approach is truly compatible with a broad acceptance of the humanities as the set of disciplines that broaden the mind and I find their pluralistic style to be what I want students to take from such a course."- Michael Gendre , Middlesex Community College"The reading selections are impeccable, which gives the book a wide audience appeal."- David Aiken , Ferris State University"The anthology is an attractive choice for those who want to present to their students some of the main issues of philosophy in a way that makes clear the historical continuity of the philosophical tradition."- Jennifer Lackey, Northwestern University--This text refers to an alternatePaperbackedition.
