History of Philosophy, Volume 9 (Hamster Princess)

I'm a student, not a scholar, but I have read all nine of Copleston's volumes, so I understand the scope and style of his writing.This volume covers a very broad range of topics. Not only does it discuss the giants like Comte and Sartre, but it also discusses about a dozen miscellaneous French trends and their proponents. Discussing small-time philosophers is common for Copleston, but this volume is more impressive than usual.I regret that Copleston mentions nothing of Derrida and only references Focault in passing, but one could hardly expect him to wait forever--these philosophers were still developing their outlook in his old age. Also, I noticed several editing overlooks, so many so that I'm mentioning it here. It won't subtract from your overall enjoyment, but it is annyong when encoutered.To start and finish Copleston is an amazing expreience, and I recommend it to any avid amateur in philosophical history.

Bought them all and glad dI did!

Good edition that is part of a serial on the history of Philosophy which is one of the best.
