Thirteen extended essays have been specially commissioned, each introducing a major area & giving an accessible & up-to-date account of the main debates. The first 7 cover the philosophies of language, psychology, religion, & the natural & social sciences. The 2nd part of the book completes the guide through the history of philosophy begun in the first volume, covering later ancient philosophy, medieval philosophy, Kant, continental philosophy from Hegel, Frege, Russell Wittgenstein, & Indian philosophy. Full annotated bibliographies are provided at the ends of chapters to serve as guide to further reading. This splendid book is particularly valuable at the end of a course of study as at the beginning: the essays are not just informative but stimulating & engaging, drawing the reader deep into the practice of philosophy today. * ABOUT THE EDITOR: A.C. Grayling is Lecturer in Philosophy at Birkbeck College, London, & Senior Research Fellow at St Anne's College, Oxford.
