The Voyage of Discovery

Review "It is the best written survey history of philosophy textbook I have found (and I have looked at many of them). . . . I know I sound like a Lawhead fan club, but I really like these textbooks, and they have helped me in the teaching of these courses." "This book is an excellent survey of the history of western philosophy--ancient, medieval, modern, and contemporary--through the 'great figures' approach." William Lawhead received a Ph.D. in philosophy from the University of Texas. Presently, he is Chair of the Philosophy Department at the University of Mississippi where he focuses on History of Philosophy, Philosophy of Religion, and Philosophy of Language.
