An ideal introduction for the casual reader and a beneficial reference
for the student, The Philosopher's Handbook features the writings of
some of the world's most influential philosophers. Based on the premise
that all human beings are curious about their existence, Rosen's
collection brings together primary excerpts from the works of prominent
thinkers such as Plato, Nietzsche, Descartes, Machiavelli, and Kant.
Experts in each field have carefully selected the sources and provided
brief introductions to help readers gain insight into the readings.
Newly revised in order to emphasize its broad appeal, The Philosopher's
Handbook is a solid introduction to Western philosophy for all
inquiring minds.
