This historically organized introductory text, which begins with Hesiod and goes up to Derrida and Quine, presents philosophy as an ongoing conversation about humankind's deepest and most persistent concerns. The Great Conversation traces the exchange of ideas between history's key philosophers, demonstrating that while constructing an argument or making a claim, one philosopher almost always has others in mind. The book is also available in two volumes: Volume I covers Hesiod through Descartes (Chapters 1-13); Volume II includes "Moving from Medieval to Modern" (Chapter 12), and coverage of Descartes through Derrida and Quine (Chapters 13-25).

This review is from: The Great Conversation: A Historical Introduction to Philosophy, 4th Edition (Hardcover)
This textbook is comprehensive in covering a broad historical overview of philosophy from ancient Greece through modern 20th-21st century contemporary philosophers. Highly recommended for anyone who would like to know more of the history behind philosophy and how we have come to think and believe what we do.

Shipping was fast and the item is in great shape. The book itself is a great overview of philosophy. I am taking a Philosophy class to accompany it and it has helped immensely.
