Abstract

This book is designed for the general reader or as a text in a beginning course in philosophy. It is divided into five parts which treat the history of philosophy, rational psychology, ethics, philosophy of nature and metaphysics. Sets of review questions and topics for essays and discussion are included for each chapter. The historical section has been the chief beneficiary of the revision with an expanded treatment of the Sophists and the Pre-Socratics.—E. A. R.
