"Philosophy: The Classic Texts" is a refreshing and thought-provoking journey through the great works of Western philosophy. With his exemplary clear style, Nigel Warburton presents and evaluates thirty-two classic works of philosophy, from Plato's "Republic" to Rawls' theory of justice.
At the end of each chapter, the reader will find a helpful glossary and suggestions for further study; thus, this book is the ideal starting point for anyone interested in philosophy.

"The difficulty is to convey to the modern reader the eternal freshness of philosophical ideas, which otherwise might not emerge from an academic presentation. Nigel Warburton excellently meets this challenge."
(Roger Scruton, The Times)
