4.0 out of 5 stars The anthology I use to teach 17th and 18th Century philosophy
Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2007
I don't usually like anthologies and rarely teach from them -- I tend to prefer a primary text approach, partly because it allows students to see the development of ideas in their full context and because I expect philosophy students to be interested in developing their personal library of philosophy. This volume, however, is an exception and I've been using this volume for several years (and three separate editions) to teach my "History of Philosophy: 17th and 18th Century." Since I try to cover quite a bit in the course (empiricism, rationalism, social contract theory, transcendental philosophy -- in the works of Descartes, Hobbes, Locke, Rousseau, Pascal, Berkeley, Hume, Spinoza, Leibniz, and Kant), but don't have the time to read everything by every thinker, this volume is almost perfect. It has almost everything I cover and includes both good brief introductions and fairly broad excerpts from each thinker. There is enough, at least, to illustrate the general approach and broad themes and key issues from most every thinker it includes. I've looked at a few other anthologies of Modern philosophy and they are usually either too specific (e.g. focused on 17th but not 18th century philosophy) or too broad and narrow in their coverage. This one is just right, and would be an excellent volume to get for an orientation to the basic problems of modern philosophy that sets the stage for both 19th Century continental thinkers like Hegel and Schopenhauer and Marx and Nietzsche and Kierkegaard, as well as for 20th century developments in both analytic (that picks up from Hume and to a lesser degree Kant and largely bypasses the German Idealist movement) as well as continental philosophy (in Heidegger, Sartre, etc.).

One quibble: I do wish there was more from Rousseau -- the latest volume has excerpts from the Social Contract and while that may be his most historically important work it doesn't show as clearly as some of his other works his distinctive approach to thinking -- that does not fall clearly under a rationalist or empiricist label. To give a better flavor of Rousseau I supplement this volume with Hackett's translation of the Second Discourse (On the Origins of Inequality).

5.0 out of 5 stars Good introduction to the writings of the philosophers of ancient Greece and Rome
Reviewed in the United States on September 8, 2016
This, the first of five volumes on the history of philosophy by Forrest Baird and Walter Kaufmann, discusses the philosophy of ancient Greece and Rome. Brief selections by Thales, Anaximander, Anaximenes, Pythagoras, Heraclitus, Parmenides, Empedocles, Anaxagoras, Gorgias, and others, are followed by a far more extensive selection of writings from Plato and Aristotle. The last part of this volume incoudes briefer selections from Epicurus, the early Stoics, Epictetus, Leucretius, Marcus Aurelius, Pyrrho, Sextus Empiricus, and Plotinus. Baird and Kaufmann provide some brief but useful introductions to the various philosophers.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't be fooled!
Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2011
This anthology is an expensive attempt to clone Hackett's Modern Philosophy, edited by Ariew and Watkins. The Hackett reader is almost half the price of this one and includes far better translations.

Amazing text that was needed for my course. The price was even more amazing, so much so, that the Proff ordered 8 more for other students when he found out how much I paid.
