A superb Anthology. Several famous thinkers and philosophers (from Plato to Freud) as well as some not so well known contemporaries are introduced succinctly followed by a selection of some of their key writings. First class editorial work, comprehensively referenced and analysed, this book could introduce to an open minded reader new concepts and ways of perceiving and understanding the world as formulated by influential thinkers whose works he could look into more thoroughly after getting a first idea. Indispensable. ( )
