Each essay is chosen for its
importance of content, its range
of thought, and its capacity
to sustain discussion and stimulate
writing. These writings have
influenced and directed human
thinking over different periods
in history extending over almost
three thousand years. The essays
are longer than in most anthologies
simply because developing a
complex idea generally requires
more than a few pages. The essays
provide a background to the
history of western ideas. Some
of the writers of these essays
have themselves shaped western
thought and still influence
the ways we think. |
They also demonstrate
that competent management of rhetorical
strategies and techniques leads to competent
thinking: effective writing fuses ideas
and rhetoric. We have included detailed
notes under the title essays so that
it becomes easy to approach an essay.
