With selections of philosophers from Fichte to Dewey, this anthology provides significant learning support, historical context, and pedagogical tools to help the reader understand the often complex and abstract concepts encountered in philosophy. Features such as "Philosophical Bridges," "Biographical Histories," "Prologues," and "Study Questions" offer historical context, contemporary relevance, and provide starting points for discussion. In addition to this volume of 19th Century Philosophy, other individual volumes for each of the major historical eras are also available.
