Western Philosophy by John G. Cottingham
An Introduction
A concise, chronological survey of Western philosophical thought that traces major movements and problems from antiquity to the present, explaining central debates in metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, and political philosophy. The book introduces and situates key figures—such as Plato and Aristotle, medieval thinkers, early moderns like Descartes, Locke, and Hume, Kant and later nineteenth- and twentieth-century philosophers—providing clear exposition of their arguments and critical commentary. Aimed at students and general readers, it emphasizes historical context and the development of recurring questions while offering accessible summaries of primary texts and their continuing relevance.
