Description

Philosophic Classics: From Plato to Derrida presents essential writings from the most significant Western philosophers spanning nearly two millennia. Edited by Forrest E. Baird, this Seventh Edition maintains the rigorous standards established by Walter Kaufmann, featuring complete works or complete sections of philosophical texts in clear translations. Each selection focuses on writings central to individual thinkers' philosophies or recognised as part of the Western philosophical canon. The anthology makes foundational and contemporary philosophical thought accessible to students whilst preserving academic integrity and textual authenticity. Whether studying Plato's dialogues, Descartes' meditations, Kant's critique, or Derrida's deconstruction, readers gain direct access to the primary sources that have shaped Western intellectual history. This comprehensive collection serves as both an introductory resource for philosophy students and a reference work for scholars exploring the development of philosophical thought across centuries.
