Hackett Publishing Co, Inc The Persian Letters
Book SynopsisBased on the 1758 edition, this translation strives for fidelity and retains Montesquieu''s paragraphing. George R. Healy''s Introduction discusses The Persian Letters as a kind of overture to the Enlightenment, a work of remarkable diversity designed more to explore a problem of great urgency for eighteenth century thought than to resolve it: that of discovering universals, or at least the pragmatic constants, amid the diversity of human culture and society, and of confronting the proposition that there are no values in human relationships except those imposed by force or agreed upon in self-interested conventions.

Hackett Publishing Co, Inc Spirit Chapter Six of Hegels Phenomenology of
Book SynopsisTrade ReviewOne problem in teaching Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit is the sheer size of the work, which makes it intractable within the time limits of the typical North American university semester course. The judicious instructor can use this pivotal Chapter Six of the book as a vehicle for summing up the themes that Hegel has been developing from the beginning, and for anticipating the conclusion to which they lead. Students are more likely to grasp the substance of the work by this method than by the usual practice of concentrating on the Preface and the first three Chapters. Most misunderstandings of Hegel are due to the limitations of precisely this practice. Chapter Six is a literary and philosophical masterpiece in its own right. I cannot think of any more perceptive synthetic view of the development of European culture than is contained here. --George di Giovanni, McGill University

Hackett Publishing Co, Inc Hume Moral Philosophy
Book SynopsisTrade ReviewA genuine understanding of Hume's extraordinarily rich, important, and influential moral philosophy requires familiarity with all of his writings on vice and virtue, the passions, the will, and even judgments of beauty--and that means familiarity not only with large portions of A Treatise of Human Nature, but also with An Enquiry Concerning the Principles of Morals and many of his essays as well. This volume is the one truly comprehensive collection of Hume's work on all of these topics. Geoffrey Sayre-McCord, a leading moral philosopher and Hume scholar, has done a meticulous job of editing the texts and has provided an extensive Introduction that is at once accessible, accurate, and philosophically engaging, revealing the deep structure of Hume's moral philosophy.--Don Garrett, New York UniversityTable of ContentsMy Own Life; A Treatise of Human Nature; Book II: Of the Passions -- Part I: Of Pride and Humility; Part II: Of Love and Hatred; Part III: Of the Will and Direct Passions.

Hackett Publishing Co, Inc Critique of Practical Reason
Book Synopsis With this volume, Werner Pluhar completes his work on Kant''s three Critiques, an accomplishment unique among English language translators of Kant. At once accurate, fluent, and accessible, Pluhar''s rendition of the Critique of Practical Reason meets the standards set in his widely respected translations of the Critique of Judgment (1987) and the Critique of Pure Reason (1996). Stephen Engstrom''s Introduction discusses the place of the second Critique in Kant''s critical philosophy, its relation to Kant''s ethics, and its practical purpose and provides an illuminating outline of Kant''s argument.

Hackett Publishing Co, Inc Before and after Hegel
Book Synopsis In this engaging and accessible introduction to Hegel''s theory of knowledge, Tom Rockmore brings together the philosopher''s life, his thought, and his historical moment--without, however, reducing one to another. Laying out the philosophical tradition of German idealism, Rockmore concisely explicates the theories of Kant, Fichte, and Schelling, essential to an understanding of Hegel''s thought. He then explores Hegel''s formulation of his own position in relation to this tradition and follows Hegel''s ideas through the competing interpretations of his successors. Even today, according to Rockmore, Hegel''s system remains an essentially modern conception of knowledge, superior to Kant''s critical philosophy and surprisingly relevant to our philosophical situation. Rockmore''s remarkably lucid and succinct introduction to Hegel''s thought, with its distinctively historical approach, will benefit students of philosophy, intellectual history, politics, culture, and society.Trade Review "A good elementary introduction to the study of Hegel and his influence. . . . It places Hegel's work in the intellectual context of his time very well." --H. S. Harris, Glendon College, York University

Hackett Publishing Co, Inc The Classical Utilitarians
Book Synopsis This volume includes the complete texts of two of John Stuart Mill''s most important works, Utilitarianism and On Liberty, and selections from his other writings, including the complete text of his Remarks on Bentham''s Philosophy. The selection from Mill''s A System of Logic is of special relevance to the debate between those who read Mill as an Act-Utilitarian and those who interpret him as a Rule-Utilitarian. Also included are selections from the writings of Jeremy Bentham, founder of modern Utilitarianism and mentor (together with James Mill) of John Stuart Mill. Bentham''s Principles of Morals and Legislation had important effects on political and legal reform in his own time and continues to provide insights for political theorists and philosophers of law. Seven chapters of Bentham''s Principles are here in their entirety, together with a number of shorter selections, including one in which Bentham repudiates the slogan often used to characterize his p

Hackett Publishing Co, Inc Another Philosophy of History and Selected
Book SynopsisHistorians of ideas, and students of nationalism in particular, have traced the origins of much of our current vocabulary and ways of thinking about the nation back to Johann Gottfried Herder. This volume provides a clear, readable, and reliable translation of Auch eine Philosophie der Geschichte zur Bildung der Menschheit, supplemented by some of Herder''s other important writings on politics and history. The editors'' insightful Introduction traces the role of Herder''s thought in the evolution of nationalism and highlights its influence on fields such as history, anthropology, and politics. The volume is designed to give English-speaking readers more ready access to the thinker whom Isaiah Berlin called the father of the related notions of nationalism, historicism, and Volksgeist.Trade ReviewEvrigenis and Pellerin should be congratulated for editing this volume, which publishes Herder's smaller and early work, Another Philosophy of History, including six smaller essays on the same topic. This volume offers the opportunity to introduce Herder to students in a survey of the history of political thought, along with his better-known contemporaries such as Rousseau, Kant, Burke, and Hegel, as well as their predecessors Machiavelli, Locke, and Hobbes. Evrigenis and Pellerin's edition gives the reader a fine introduction to Herder and his thought. The selections of the smaller essays are very helpful in allowing someone unfamiliar with Herder to see how his important thoughts could be responsible in shaping how thinkers in the later half of the 19th Century thought about the nation and the role of politics in general. Rating: * * * * * --Clifford Angell Bates, Jr., Political Studies ReviewThe translation . . . is beautiful, precise, and eminently readable. . . . I found the notes extremely helpful. --Frederick Neuhouser, Barnard College, Columbia University

Hackett Publishing Co, Inc Six Myths about the Good Life
Book SynopsisSix Myths about the Good Life focuses on the values that are worth aiming for in our lives, a topic central to what has been called Philosophy of Life. We all have ideas about the good life. We think that pleasure makes life better. We want to be happy. We think that achievements make a difference. There is something to all these ideas, but if taken simply and generally they all miss out on something. Six Myths about the Good Life explores what they miss and, in the process, gives a sense of what a good life can be.Trade ReviewThis is the best introduction to philosophical accounts of the good life available. An excellent choice for any student of philosophy, this original and revealing study will inform, stimulate, and challenge even the most sophisticated reader. Kupperman combines the distinctive care, precision, and analytic power of philosophy with the best insights of contemporary psychology and a sophisticated, sensitive, and wise appreciation of the Indian, Chinese, and Western philosophical traditions. The result is a modern classic. --Philip J.

Book SynopsisIntroduces students and general readers to philosophy through core questions and topics - particularly those involving ethics, the existence of God, free will, the relation of mind and body, and what it is to be a person. This book also features a chapter on reasoning, both theoretical and practical.Trade Review"Provides a wonderful and unique introduction to philosophy--not just to its central questions and the creative answers (some classic and enduring, some cutting-edge) that philosophers have given, but also to the shared techniques, style, and wonderment that makes philosophy so, well, engaging. The book can clearly be used on its own, or along with a selection of the philosophical texts it discusses. Particularly useful in this regard are the study questions and further reading suggestions that come at the end of each chapter." --Joseph G. Moore, Amherst College"This lively introduction does not say that philosophical work is not the rote memorization of dry and dusty doctrines. Far better, it shows it, with wonderfully lucid discussions of good and bad reasoning, 'the Greatest Conceivable Being', moral relativism and objectivism, consciousness and the mind, free will, and personal identity. Students, or any readers wanting a stimulating introduction to the field, will see these issues spring to life under Professor Green's able tutelage, and they will learn by example the intellectual virtues of clarity, rigor, and conceptual discernment. Green shows what it is to be alive to philosophical issues, and he shows why--as he memorably puts it--philosophy never sleeps. A brilliant introduction." --Garry L. Hagberg, James H. Ottaway Professor of Philosophy and Aesthetics, Bard College"Extremely well done. The author has organized his material so that it flows nicely and conveys a sense that philosophical reasoning moves from one point to another, with questions raised, options considered, and so forth. The accounts of the steps along the way are very easy to read, clear as a bell, use traditional texts in a nonthreatening and 'natural' way, and employ nice examples that students will relate to." --Michael Morgan, Indiana University
