Key Features of Philosophic Classics, Volume 1: Ancient Philosophy:
The best available translations.
Provides students with selections that are readable and accessible, while still being faithful to the original works.
Complete works or complete sections of works.
Immerses students in the complexity and dynamics of philosophical dialogue, encouraging them to follow the careful interweaving of thought and reason and to think critically themselves about the topics-something that simple summaries of doctrine simply cannot do.
An abundance of selections-More than can easily fit into a normal semester.
Offers instructors an opportunity to "change the menu as often as they would like.
Shows the development of ideas.
Gives students a sense of the development of ideas by stressing the connections between thinkers.
Introductions to each period and thinker.
Helps students put philosophical inquiry into context, showing how philosophers and schools of thought were affected by the events that surrounded them, and how they, in turn, may have influenced others.
Three-part introductions to each thinker-Biographical (a glimpse of the life of the philosopher); Philosophical (a résumé of each thinker); and Bibliographical (suggestions for further reading).
Helps students relate the thinkers as people rather than icons; allows students to see how each thinker developed their specific doctrines; and enables students to delve more deeply into the thinkers' lives and thoughts, if desired.
Illustrations and a timeline.
Helps keep students focused on the context and reality of philosophical inquiry.
"Technical" editing for greater readability-Omits most footnotes treating textual matters (variant readings, etc.); standardization of foreign terms and transliteration of necessary Greek terms.
Lets students concentrate on the meaning of the selections without being overwhelmed by technicalities.
Bibliographies.
Appropriate for beginning level students and highlight the most important secondary works and also give guidance to finding alternative interpretations.
The most important works of Euro-American or "Western" Philosophy are covered.
Major works-Features texts which are both central to each thinker and are widely accepted to be part of the canon.
Introduces students to the most influential and widely read texts.
Where appropriate, women writers are included and the role of women in the primarily male-dominated history of Western philosophy is noted.
