4.9/5 (33123 ratings)

Description:This 7th Edition of Philosophic Classics, Volume I: Ancient Philosophy includes essential writings of the most important Greek philosophers, along with selections from some of their Roman followers. In updating this 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 the 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 Greek words 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). New to this edition:The following new readings: Plato's Gorgias and the addition of Book I of The RepublicNew complete translations of all of Plato's Apology, Phaedo, Euthyphro, and Crito and of Epicurus's Letter to Herodotus, Letter to Menoeceus, and Principal Doctrines.New translations or substantial sections of Aristotle's Nichomachean Ethics, Politics and Book IV of Metaphysics and of Marcus Aurelius's Meditations.Updated, annotated bibliographies reflecting the most recent scholarship on each thinker and philosophical school, with each now broken into two sections, one for beginning and another for advanced studentsWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
