Philosophy : the classics

Nigel Warburton's Philosophy: The Classics introduces philosophy through history and its key writings.

It is a clear and concise introduction to twenty of the great works of Western Philosophy.

From Plato's Republic to Wittgenstein's Philosophical Investigations , it explains the most important features of each classic in a way that doesn't assume any previous knowledge of philosophy.

Philosophy: The Classics offers the reader an accessible introduction to these texts, identifying and clearly explaining the key themes as well as subjecting them to critical scrutiny.

The classics that are covered are still valued because they deal with problems that continue to face us today.
