Philosophic Classics: From Plato to Derrida includes essential
writings of the most important philosophers from almost two
millennia of Western philosophy. In updating this Seventh Edition,
editor Forrest E. Baird has continued to follow the same criteria
established by the late-Walter Kaufmann when the Philosophic
Classics series was first established: (1) to use complete works
or, where more appropriate, complete sections of works (2) in clear
translations (3) of texts central to each thinker’s philosophy or
widely accepted as part of the "canon." To make the works more
accessible to students, most footnotes treating textual matters
(variant readings, etc.) have been omitted and important words from
antiquity have been transliterated and put in angle brackets. In
addition, each thinker is introduced by a brief essay composed of
three sections: (1) biographical (a glimpse of the life), (2)
philosophical (a résumé of the philosopher’s thought), and (3)
bibliographical (suggestions for further reading). A timeline
places important philosophers alongside other important thinkers,
world leaders, and major global events. Photos and paintings with
explanatory captions illuminate the ideas, debates, and places
discussed in the text. New to the Seventh Edition: New
translations: Plato, Euthyphro, Apology, Crito, and Phaedo;
Aristotle, Nichomachean Ethics; Epicurus, Letter to Menoeceus and
Principal Doctrines; Boethius, The Consolation of Philosophy;
Anselm, Proslogion; Giovanni Pico Della Mirandola, Oration on the
Dignity of Man; René Descartes, Correspondence with Princess
Elizabeth; Gottfried Leibniz, Monadology; Jean-Jacques Rousseau,
The Social Contract; Immanuel Kant, Prolegomena to Any Future
Metaphysics and Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals Additional
material: Porphyry’s Life of Plotinus (in part); Francis Bacon,
Aphorisms (selections from Novum Organum); Karl Marx, Theses on
Feuerbach; A.J. Ayer, Language, Truth, and Logic (in part) Updated,
annotated bibliographies with each bibliography now broken into two
sections, one for beginning and another for advanced students.
