A History of Western Philosophy, Vol. 5: The Twentieth Century to Wittgenstein and Sartre by W. T. Jones
A History of Western Philosophy examines the nature of philosophical enterprise and philosophy's role in Western culture. Jones and Fogelin weave key passages from classic philosophy works into their comments and criticisms, giving A History of Western Philosophy the combined advantages of a source book and textbook. The text concentrates on major figures in each historical period, combining exposition with direct quotations from the philosophers themselves. The text places philosophers in show more appropriate cultural context and shows how their theories reflect the concerns of their times. show less
A clearly written account of Wittgenstein's philosophy and method of working.
