Central Works of Philosophy is a major multi-volume collection of
essays on the core texts of the Western philosophical tradition.
From Plato's Republic to the present day, the five volumes range
over 2,500 years of philosophical writing covering the best, most
representative, and most influential work of some of our greatest
philosophers. Each essay has been specially commissioned and
provides an overview of the work, clear and authoritative
exposition of its central ideas, and an assessment of the work's
importance. Together these books provide an unrivaled companion for
studying and reading philosophy, one that introduces the reader to
the masterpieces of the western philosophical canon. This volume
covers the central texts in the history of analytic philosophy from
Quine's Word and Object (1960) to the present day. The texts range
over political philosophy, ethics, metaphysics and the philosophies
of language, mind and logic and represent some of the most
important philosophical work of the last forty years. Students and
non-specialists who may find the technicality of some of the texts
forbidding will welcome the clarity of exposition and exegesis that
the essays provide. Taken together the essays provide both a map
and compass for the current philosophical landscape and will prove
a valuable resource not only for undergraduate and postgraduate
philosophy students but for teachers and researchers in allied
disciplines who need an understanding of the preoccupations of
contemporary philosophy.
