Figures Covered
Figures covered briefly include Aristotle, Heraclitus, Protagoras, Ockham, Leibniz, Locke, Hume, and Russell. Neglected and important arguments by figures like Aquinas and Ockham are brought to light.
Chapter Structure
Each chapter is divided into short and easily readable sections including an introduction which raises a problem, an account of key views, criticisms of those views, and a brief conclusion. There are also recommended further readings at the end of each chapter which would be useful to anyone teaching a topic in the area.
