Great Minds of the Western Intellectual Traditions (Lecture Transcripts and Course Guidebooks) Parts 1-7 The Great Courses

Who or what is God? What is the purpose of life and how does one live happily? What is truth? What is justice? Beauty? When is it legitimate for one person to have power over another? Can any of these questions have a final answer? 12 professors guide you on this comprehensive tour of the history of Western philosophy from its origins in classical Greece 3,000 years ago to the present. The material is presented through a close examination of the central question of Western philosophy as considered through the thought of more than five dozen of history's critical figures. The course also examines the relationships among various schools of thought as they develop over time. This product is presented in 7 softcover books (Parts 1-7) for those who prefer a book, rather than audio or video. These are the Lecture Transcripts and Course Guidebooks.
