Each chapter explores a key classic text identifying and explaining core themes as well as subjecting them to critical scrutiny.<br>These classic texts deal with problems that are as important today as when they were written and <em>Philosophy: The Classics</em> offers an accessible introduction for all those who hesitated to approach them - until now.</p>
