Reviews

[Tyler · Rating 4 out of 5]

Absolutely would have gotten five out of five stars if it had a section for political philosophy. This book has a lot of major philosopher's writings and other rarer, but still fairly popular, philosophers like Thomas Reid. It has Locke and Mill for things other than political philosophy which is very cool. I do wish it had a political philosophy section. I don't think this book will get read by many because it's older but if you're reading this and you have the opportunity to get it at an old used book store, I'd highly recommend it.
