The traditional philosophers represented range from Plato and Aristotle to Immanuel Kant and A.J. Carefully chosen selections from a wide range of pre-20th-century philosophers are paired with writings from more than fifty leading contemporary philosophers and thinkers. Within these broad areas, readings are arranged in clusters that address both traditional issues-such as the existence of God, justice and the state, knowledge and skepticism, and free will-and contemporary topics-including God and science, just war theory, vegetarianism, and time travel. The Elements of Philosophy: Readings from Past and Present offers an extensive collection of classic and contemporary readings, organized topically into five main sections: Religion and Belief, Moral and Political Philosophy, Metaphysics and Epistemology, Philosophy of Mind and Language, and Life and Death.
