Historical Introduction to Philosophy

by Albert B. Hakim

This text/anthology is designed to lead beginning students to an appreciation of Western philosophy through an exploration of its history, the problems (classical questions) it has dealt with, and the major philosophers and their works within that historical setting. Coverage spans 2000 years of Western philosophy-from the predecessors of Socrates to the present day- and contains 33 profiles of individual philosophers representing the four major periods-ancient, medieval, modern, and contemporary.

My edition is the 2nd edition, which based on my research, is needlessly longer.
