It addresses the fundamental questions of human life: Who are we? What can we know? How should we live? and What sort of reality do we inhabit?\n\nAuthor Norman Melchert provides a generous selection of excerpts from major philosophical works and makes them more easily understandable to students with his lucid and engaging explanations. Extensive cross-referencing shows students how philosophers respond appreciatively or critically to the thoughts of other philosophers. The text is enhanced by two types of exercises--\"Basic Questions\" and \"For Further Thought\"--and numerous illustrations.\n\nAlso available to serve your course needs: The seventh editions of The Great Conversation: Volume I: Pre-Socratics through Descartes and The Great Conversation: Volume II: Descartes through Derrida and Quine\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press, USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45253979930677,"sku":"ByrdShop_0199999651","price":245.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780199999651_c1053a25-cdfd-42e0-87e6-9385e26cf01d.jpg?v=1779953040","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-great-conversation-a-historical-introduction-to-philosophy-9780199999651","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
