Ten Great Works of Philosophy by Various
In its vast scope, this book presents the continuum of Western philosophy. Ranging from ancient Greece to nineteenth-century America, it traces the history of our civilization through the seminal works of its most influential thinkers. Each philosopher in this volume made intellectual history; each created a revolution in ideas; each reaffirmed man's view of himself as a sentient being capable of creating order out of the baffling contradictions of existence. And the most powerful reflections and speculations of each are represented here.- Plato- Apology, Crito and the Death of Socrates, from Phado
- Aristotle- Poetics
- St. Ansem- The ontological Proof of St. Ansem, from Proslogium
- St. Thomas Aquinas- St. Thomas' Proofs of God's Existence, from the SummaTheologica
- Rene Descartes- Meditations on the First Philosophy
- David Hume- An Inquiry Concerning Human Understanding
- Immanuel Kant- Prolegomena to Any Future Metaphysics
- John Stuart Mill- Utilitarianism
- William James- The Will to Believe
