Editorial Reviews

Review

"I have used Voices of Wisdom to teach introductory courses in philosophy since 1997. I am thrilled with Kessler’s handling of the material. He presents the basic philosophical concepts in a way that is easy to understand, and quick to engage. The articles that are presented do an excellent job of representing a cross-selection of philosophical work from around the world and throughout the ages."

"Gary Kessler’s Voices of Wisdom: A Multicultural Philosophy Reader is an excellent introductory textbook for instructors who want important selections from the Western and Eastern canons as well as readings from important figures writing on contemporary philosophical issues. The text strikes an important balance by including figures vital to the history of philosophy as well as voices too often neglected in philosophy classes."

About the Author

I boght this book for college. It was one of the better books on my shelf that year. Overall a great read and eye opener if you let it. After the course, I realized the book disassembled my being in some ways and strengthened my foundation in others.

I’m just concerned about being charged. I get that it’s rental so it will have wear and tear but this is ridiculous I feel like the book is barely holding on

The package, the back cover and few internal pages were sliced open by a box cutter in transit. Otherwise the book was in decent condition. But unfortunately, due to the condition of the book when received, my student will be unable to resell the book when he is done with it.
