Allen's Greek Philosophy,
By Dr. Steven Burns (Halifax, Nova Scotia Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Greek Philosophy: Thales to Aristotle (Readings in the History of Philosophy) (Paperback)
For a teacher willing to present his or her own analysis of the period, but looking for an inexpensive source of well-translated key texts from the pre-Socratics to Aristotle, this collection is unbeatable. At 450 pages it contains more than enough core reading for a one-term course. Moreover, it includes the 'unmoved mover' argument from the 'Phaedrus', which its competitors, even at twice the length and thrice the price do not.

This review is from: Greek Philosophy: Thales to Aristotle (Readings in the History of Philosophy) (Paperback)
The book's condition was a little more beat up than I would have liked to see it in. Please honestly tell what condition you are sending the book in, not just, very-good for everything.
