{"product_id":"2940016433455","title":"The Masterworks of Western Philosophy","description":"These masterworks contain ideas and ideals that have shaped the West and impacted the rest of the world. The very brilliance of the Classical and Western tradition cannot be set apart from its radically innovative methodology.  Veering away from all other cultures, which were subsumed in the will of the gods and bound by immemorial custom, the Classical Greek thinkers and their medieval and modern descendants dared to reason intellectually about the meaning of the universe.  Nor have they stopped; twenty-five centuries later, philosophers still reflect with Socrates on the implications of thought and action and continue to probe the mysteries of creation.  These masterpieces set forth the enduring principles of continuity and innovation that have transformed the world almost beyond recognition.      \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlato:\u003cbr\u003e• Phaedo\u003cbr\u003e• The Republic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAristotle:\u003cbr\u003e• Poetics\u003cbr\u003e• Ethics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBoethius:\u003cbr\u003e• The Consolation of Philosophy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSt. Thomas Aquinas:\u003cbr\u003e• Summa Theologica, I-II\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRene Descartes:\u003cbr\u003e• Discourse on the Method of Rightly conducting the Reason; Seeking Truth in the Sciences\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGottfried Leibniz:\u003cbr\u003e• Essays on the Goodness of God, the Freedom of Man, and the Origins of Evil\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJean-Jacques Rousseau:\u003cbr\u003e• A Discourse upon the Origins and Foundation of Inequality among    Mankind\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDavid Hume:\u003cbr\u003e• An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThomas Paine:\u003cbr\u003e• Common Sense\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eImmanuel Kant:\u003cbr\u003e• The Critique of Pure Reason\u003cbr\u003e• The Critique of Practical Reason\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eArthur Schopenhauer:\u003cbr\u003e• The Art of Controversy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJohn Stuart Mill:\u003cbr\u003e• Utilitarianism\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWilliam James:\u003cbr\u003e• The Will to Believe","brand":"Civitas Media, LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47171249668336,"sku":"2940016433455","price":1.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940016433455_p0.jpg?v=1763635902","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940016433455","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
