Blackwell Guides to Great Works
A proper understanding of philosophy requires engagement with the foundational
texts that have shaped the development of the discipline and which have an abiding
relevance to contemporary discussions. Each volume in this series provides guid-
ance to those coming to the great works of the philosophical canon, whether for
the irst time or to gain new insight. Comprising specially commissioned contribu-
tions from the inest scholars, each book offers a clear and authoritative account
of the context, arguments, and impact of the work at hand. Where possible the
original text is reproduced alongside the essays.
