Pressestimmen
"Students with little or no background in philosophy would likely find it difficult--if not impossible--to comprehend the works of many of the philosophers addressed in [each] volume on their own. However, this text's informative introductions and careful selection of readings make it possible for students to get a foothold in their primary texts...[S]tudents are afforded the opportunity to engage with the works of these illustrious but often inscrutable thinkers." -- Jennifer McMahon, Centre College "This collection is by far the best I have seen in this area...And I certainly prefer having all of my material together in one text rather than having students purchase half a dozen books, which then still require supplementation. I cannot imagine a better format or selection of materials that would tempt me away from this collection for another." -- Ted Toadvine, Emporia State University
Kurzbeschreibung
For courses in History of Medieval Philosophy and as a supplement for Philosophy of Religion. Esteemed for providing the best available translations, the Philosophic Classics series features complete works or complete sections of the most important works by the major thinkers as well as shorter samples from transitional thinkers. Forrest E. Baird's revisions of Philosophic Classics, Prentice Hall's long-standing philosophy series, continue the tradition begun in 1961, to provide generations of students with anthologies of high quality in the history of Western philosophy. Using the complete works, or where appropriate, complete sections of works, this series allows philosophers to speak directly to students. For history of philosophy courses it is difficult to know whether to have students buy a stack of individual books or an anthology. Professor Baird's work includes most of the most important works of the major thinkers--along with shorter samples from transitional or more minor thinkers. By providing complete texts, this volume allows professors to tailor the readings to their particular interests.Those who use this text in a one term course will find more material here than can easily fit a normal semester. This offers teachers some choice and, for those who offer the same course year after year, an opportunity to change the menu without having to assign multiple books. The full Philosophic Classics series: Volume I: Ancient Philosophy (0-13-241317-5) Volume II: Medieval and Renaissance Philosophy (0-13-158595-9) Volume III: Modern Philosophy (0-13-206058-2) Volume IV: Nineteenth-Century Philosophy (0-13-048550-0) Volume V: Twentieth-Century Philosophy (0-13-048563-2) From Plato to Derrida, Combined Edition (0-13-158591-6)

This anthology would (does?) make a good text for a history of philosophy class as well as a companion to classically-inclined philosophers such as Nietzsche (who Kaufmann has played no small role in creating for the English-speaking world) and Heidegger. It is as good as an anthology as I've seen covering the pre-medieval period. That said, the volume suffers from a lack of depth and would benefit from the more extensive footnotes and references to primary sources or translations that I've grown accustomed to in Kaufmann's other works.

The anthology I use to teach 17th and 18th Century philosophy
30. November 2007
Format:Taschenbuch
I don't usually like anthologies and rarely teach from them -- I tend to prefer a primary text approach, partly because it allows students to see the development of ideas in their full context and because I expect philosophy students to be interested in developing their personal library of philosophy. This volume, however, is an exception and I've been using this volume for several years (and three separate editions) to teach my "History of Philosophy: 17th and 18th Century." Since I try to cover quite a bit in the course (empiricism, rationalism, social contract theory, transcendental philosophy -- in the works of Descartes, Hobbes, Locke, Rousseau, Pascal, Berkeley, Hume, Spinoza, Leibniz, and Kant), but don't have the time to read everything by every thinker, this volume is almost perfect. It has almost everything I cover and includes both good brief introductions and fairly broad excerpts from each thinker. There is enough, at least, to illustrate the general approach and broad themes and key issues from most every thinker it includes. I've looked at a few other anthologies of Modern philosophy and they are usually either too specific (e.g. focused on 17th but not 18th century philosophy) or too broad and narrow in their coverage. This one is just right, and would be an excellent volume to get for an orientation to the basic problems of modern philosophy that sets the stage for both 19th Century continental thinkers like Hegel and Schopenhauer and Marx and Nietzsche and Kierkegaard, as well as for 20th century developments in both analytic (that picks up from Hume and to a lesser degree Kant and largely bypasses the German Idealist movement) as well as continental philosophy (in Heidegger, Sartre, etc.).
One quibble: I do wish there was more from Rousseau -- the latest volume has excerpts from the Social Contract and while that may be his most historically important work it doesn't show as clearly as some of his other works his distinctive approach to thinking -- that does not fall clearly under a rationalist or empiricist label. To give a better flavor of Rousseau I supplement this volume with Hackett's translation of the Second Discourse (On the Origins of Inequality).

Don't be fooled!

This anthology is an expensive attempt to clone Hackett's Modern Philosophy, edited by Ariew and Watkins. The Hackett reader is almost half the price of this one and includes far better translations.

another example of the abuse of 'new' editions
23. Oktober 2002
Format:Taschenbuch
The fourth edition claims to have these advantages: it includes (1) a selection from Rousseau (2) additional material from Locke's Essay and (3) a new translation of the Meditations.
(2) consists of a short chapter on faith and reason. In exchange, we've lost II.11, on abstraction. Since there's little material from Book III, and nothing from III.vi, it's very hard for the reader to make sense of Berkeley's extended attack on abstract ideas in the introduction to the Principles.
Re. (3): Inexplicably, the editor has decided to replace John Cottingham's standard 1986 translation of the Meditations with a `new' translation by Laurence Lafleur, first published in 1951. Perhaps the editor had no choice, but it seems disingenuous to present this as an improvement.
Moreover, the third edition included a crucial selection from Kant's first Critique (the transcendental deduction); this has been deleted.
This is a big step down from the third edition.
