This companion to the highly successful Philosophy: A Guide through the Subject, (recently reissued as Philosophy 1) is a lively and authoritative guide through important areas of philosophy that are typically studied in the later parts of an undergraduate course. Thirteen extended essays have been specially commissioned, each introducing a major area and giving an accessible and up-to-date account of the main debates. The first seven cover the philosophies of language, psychology, religion, and the natural and social sciences. The second part of the book completes the guide through the history of philosophy begun in the first volume, covering later ancient philosophy, medieval philosophy, Kant, continental philosophy from Hegel, Frege, Russell Wittgenstein, and Indian philosophy.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent introduction and review 2,
By
This review is from: Philosophy 2: Further through the Subject (Vol 2) (Paperback)
Everything I said about the first book applies to this book as well. Grayling does a fine job of collecting excellent summaries of important topics that keep a level of sophistication lost in many other works. This book, like the one before it, finds a balance between explaining philosophical problems to a novice in a comprehensible manner and providing someone in the field with a valuable resourse. Every philosophy student should have this book.I'm hoping for Philosophy 3.
