Roots of Wisdom: A Tapestry of Philosophical Traditions

Minor tearing on the cover binding and a few notes in pencil, but update to date and I was able to complete all assignments.

This is a very interesting book. Very detailed and descriptive. I would recommend reading this even if you are not taking a Philosophy Class. It gets very technical and deep as well.

Great book! Looks brand new and was really affordable as apposed to buying it from other company’s for tons of money

Textbooks in philosophy are rarely good, and they are rarely necessary. This is simply one of the worst textbooks I've ever seen. It is oversimplified and in many places it is simply inaccurate (i.e., discussions of Aristotle or medieval philosophy; reduction of Nietzsche to The Birth of Tragedy). In addition, it is unconscionably overpriced. There are many other options a professor could assign which would be superior to this text - texts which would cost the student much less and be of much greater value to them. It is irresponsible to assign this, and I myself would never do so in my classes.

used book for a college class, amazon rocks when it comes to the best rental prices and kindle prices for college books

Great rental program and so easy to use!

This is an outstanding elementary philosophy book which covers non-Western as well as Western traditions.
