Classics of Philosophy: Volume II: Modern and Contemporary (Paperback)

This is the second of the two split volumes of Classics of Philosophy, an anthology intended for introduction to philosophy and history of philosophy courses and any reader interested in philosophy. It covers the period from Descartes to the present day, including forty-eight works by twenty-nine philosophers. The book presents many complete texts from the period and strongly features twentieth-century philosophy up to John Rawls. The editor has written introductions to each of the philosophers presented.
