This was a rewarding book. I had already read Norman Melchert's 'The Great Conversation' before reading this book. Compared to Melchert's book, Soccio's handling of the theoretical part of the philosophies themselves could arguably be said to be somewhat superficial. He merely gives the reader enough information to enable them to understand the issues each philosophical viewpoint is dealing with. As an example, Melchert dedicated two whole chapters in his book to Wittgenstein while Soccio confin...more

I am currently reading this all the way through.I am on the 5th chapter
on Socrates.Ive read about the Asian sages and the sophists.I love this textbook .Its much better with greater more clever clarity in my
opinon than the other philosophy textbook I read which was titled for
Dummies or for Idiots. Ill probably buy a hardcover and always keep
one in my library for reference. Im going to give my softcover as a
gift to a friend after Ive read it all.
not altogether bad... but, in my opinion, the author breezes by in many topics
Archetypes Of Wisdom Pdf Online
After one year of on-and-off reading, and periodical late fees, I've finally finished this awesome introduction to the wisdom of the west! Really learned a lot about the context, core concepts and implication of some of the most well-known thinkers in the western civilization. Dear old Soccio has grown pretty dear to me. It feels like I have been having a long conversation with a warm-hearted old grandpa, and not reading an old dry textbook! I'll still hold on to this book for a bit longer until...more

You know you are bored when you are reading your husband's old textbook, but I never took a formal Philosophy class and I felt like I was missing out. Fortunately, I am realizing that I got a lot of 'Philosophy' in Music 201-202 and American Heritage, oddly enough. Still, it is nice to get back to the basics. This book is interesting enough that I am reading it in my spare time and am not motivated by a grade. :-) hahaha! I enjoy Soccio's writing style as well, although things are pretty boiled...more
Currently reading for a class I will substitute teach in October 2012. More soon.
Book 54 2012 Reading Challenge. Terrific book for undergraduates who are being introduced to philosophy.
Lots of modern examples of how each philosophy could play out in a 21st century life. A combination of Western and Eastern thinkers.
(Seventh Edition)
Nice layout. A few good excerpts and additional information.
Offers basic information of around fifteen to twenty philosophers and their philosophies. A decent book if paired with a good lecture.

This is a really great textbook for an intro to philosophy class. The author writes in a way that makes each thinker's project and ideas clear. I read it because somebody was giving away books and I just really like the title. If and when i teach an intro class, I imagine i'll use this book.

I mistakenly used this text when I first taught PHI 1030, 'Introduction to Philosophical Problems.'
Why do I give one star? There are several reasons, all of which are summed-up by Soccio's definition of knowledge as 'true belief'.
I am not making that up. 'True belief.'

I had to read this for a class over a decade ago, but it is excellent and I still go back to it from time to time.

Was pretty easy to comprehend, but I only read it because it was necessary for my degree plan :P if I didn't have to, I wouldn't have read it. But overall, pretty clear and concise.
