Philosophy: The Classics

Now in its fourth edition, Philosophy The Classics is a brisk and invigorating tour through the great books of western philosophy. In his exemplary clear style, Nigel Warburton introduces and assesses thirty-three philosophical classics from Plato's Republic to Rawls' A Theory of Justice.  With a glossary and suggestions for further reading at the end of each chapter, this is an ideal starting point for anyone interested in philosophy.
