Book Description

The Eighth Edition of Steven M. Cahn's Classics of Western Philosophy maintains the same exacting standard of editing and translation as previous editions of this anthology, which helped make those editions the most highly valued and widely used volume of its kind. [Cahn] [is] the preeminent authority on Western philosophy. But the eighth edition also includes some interesting new material, including: Plato's Laches (complete), new selections from Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics (on courage), Descartes' Discourse on Method (complete), all previously omitted sections of Berkeley's A Treatise Concerning the Principles of Human Knowledge, and Kant's Prolegomena to Any Future Metaphysics are some of the works that are included in this volume (complete).
An anthology of unrivaled versatility has been produced as a result of these additions, as there has been no corresponding deletion of content from the Seventh Edition. This anthology is the only one to offer the complete texts of both Descartes' Discourse on Method and Meditations on First Philosophy, both of Berkeley's A Treatise Concerning the Principles of Human Knowledge and Three Dialogues between Hylas and Philonous, and selections from Kant's Critique of Pure Reason.
