Reading the World (Fourth Edition edition)

With 77 readings by some of the world's great thinkers, Reading the World is the only great ideas reader to offer a global perspective, allowing students to explore the development of ideas across cultures, an increasingly important approach in our diverse society.

Selections strike a balance between Western and non-Western, classic and contemporary, verbal and visual, and longer and shorter.

The new edition features a new chapter on Ethics & Empathy, a new casebook on Visual Arguments, 36 new readings in total and new guidance on identifying and avoiding bias.
