It is an excellent mixture of classic, contemporary, and diverse sources. The teaching resources are invaluable."--Albert Spencer, Portland State University "The book's greatest strengths are its choice of selections, the incorporation of Eastern philosophy, and its recognition of superb women philosophers who appear to get little notice in other texts."--Dominic Prianti III, Gannon University "The quality of the book is excellent.
