The Canon and Its Critics: A Multi-Perspective Introduction to Philosophy

Recently the boundaries and frontiers of philosophy have changed. New developments have come from several sources, including traditional western academic philosophy, the new voices of philosophers once marginalized by that tradition, and interdisciplinary ventures in areas like cognitive science. These advances have spawned many interesting new philosophies. The Canon & Its Critics is a unique anthology in that it acknowledges these changes while remaining in touch with the parameters and methods of traditional philosophy.
