The great conversation : a historical introduction to philosophy by Norman Melchert.

Material type: TextTextPublication details: Mountain View, California. Mayfield Publishing Company. , 1999Edition: 3rd edDescription: xiii, 720 p. : 25 cmISBN: 0767400127 (pbk.)Subject(s): PhilosophyDDC classification: LOC classification: BD21 | .M43 1999Summary: "This third edition of The Great Conversation retains the distinctive features of the first two, representing major philosophers through extensive quotations set in a fairly rich cultural and intellectual context. It now contains, with the addition of Crito, four complete works. I continue to take the "conversation" metaphor seriously, as shown by an even larger number of cross-references, both within the text and in foot notes. I still aim to tell the dramatic story of philosophy in a lively and engaging way, hoping to draw students into the conversatio."
