Philosophy: Basic Readings

TRAMA

Nigel Warburton brings philosophy to life with an imaginative selection of philosophical writings on key topics. "Philosophy: Basic Readings" is structured around the same key themes as its companion volume, "Philosophy: The Basics," but is also ideal for independent use. "Philosophy: Basic Readings" includes short and accessible sections from: * classic works of philosophy such as Descartes' "Meditations" and Hobbes' "Leviathan" * contemporary thinkers such as Richard Dawkins and Daniel Dennett * relevant works by figures outside philosophy such as Jorge Luis Borges and Martin Luther King, Jr. The second edition has been revised and expanded to include sixteen new readings, including: * Thomas Nagel, "What is Philosophy? "* Peter Singer, "Moral Experts "* Ronald Dworkin, "A New Map of Censorship "* Oliver Sacks, "The Lost Mariner"
