The systematic philosophy presented in this book has arisen from two insights, formulable as two theses, resulting from a long and intensive occupation with the fundamental philosophical conceptions from history and of the present.

This anthology was designed for lower-division (freshmen and sophomore) students in Introduction to Philosophy courses. After several years of using some of the more comprehensive anthologies, and rejecting spoon-fed introductory text, I came to the conclusion that the more rigorous anthologies are simply too hard for the average undergraduate nonphilosophy major.
