by J.K.

Praised for its unique combination of accessibility and comprehensiveness, The Quest for Truth, Tenth Edition, provides an excellent selection of ninety-five classical and contemporary readings--on twenty key problems in philosophy--carefully organized so that they present pro/condialogues that allow students to compare and contrast the philosophers' positions.Each of the readings is accompanied by study questions, end-of-reading reflective questions, and an individual introduction featuring a biographical sketch of the philosopher. A tutorial on logic and argument, a time line, boldfaced key terms, a detailed glossary, and an appendix on reading andwriting philosophy papers further enhance the text's pedagogical value. In addition, each major section opens with a substantial introduction and ends with a short bibliography.

Kind of interesting. This wasn't what I was expecting. It's more about famous Philosophers rather than philosophy itself.

[Matt Smith]

I read most of it for a class. Too much for one semester => didn't retain much. Good exposure to opposing views.

I've never liked collections of excerpts.
