Oh, and Russell's History Of Philosophy is tops. I'm told one by Bryan (?) Magee is very good too, and there's one I can't name. Don't waste your nickel on Durant's "Story Of Philosophy", imho, it's crap.

I saw a pair of Blackwell readers in the used bookstore the other day. The first dealt with ethical philophy, the second with applied ethics. The one-two punch combined with Blackwell quality looked nummy.



Yeah, I already decided on Russell's history, I hear it's very comprehensive, good old Earl Bertie Russell. Sophie's world was a good skim-through as a history as well, all commendable stuff.

I wish I had a used bookstore nearby, there's very little of noteworthiness in Worksop Undecided I have a few to get my head around before anything needs purchasing but I shall definitely compose a list of titles to buy based on your contributions people Big Grin
Religion is an attempt to answer the philosophical questions of the unphilosophical man.
