Summary: An excellent resource and text...
Review: Moore and Bruder have, in my view, provided an excellent philosophical resource. The 3rd and 4th editions have proved invaluable in my work, both as a student and an instructor. I have no doubt that the 5th edition equals its predecessors and would readily adopt it as the required text in any Introductory Philosophy course.

Summary: the best of philosophy all in one book!
Review: This book does an excellent job of explaining concepts and ideas of different philosophers throughout history. It is almost like Cliffs Notes for philosophy. I would recommend this book to anyone who is having trouble understanding the readings of Plato, Aristotle, Hegel, Hume, Spinoza, Kant, or any other great minds. This book is an excellent reference and is highly recommended.

Summary: Great introduction to philosophy
Review: This book is really amazing as it presents the most important philoshophers throughout history (from ancient times to present day) in a coprehensive way. I especially enjoyed the easy language, the illustrations and of course the content that included the major points each philosopher emphasized on. As a student, I was actually taught the material and although I had no interest in Philosophy until now, it managed to intrigue my curiocity and I have now picked up several other PH books. It is just for those starting in philosophy however, so if you are looking for in-depth analysis you should be looking somewhere else.

Summary: a great introduction
Review: When I first bought the book I was as ususal skeptical about an 'introduction' to philosophy; expecting to get essay length descriptions of ancient philosophies for my money. But I was pleasantly surprised to find the book maintaining a fine balance between including most of the well-known philosophers and philosophical disciplines and expounding on their philosophy. I think it is a very good starting point for a beginner in philosophy in the sense that once you get an idea of what certain philosophers were all about, you have the option of choosing who appeals to you most.....and then go ahead from there. Five well-deserved stars to it !
