Features: This book is intended as a textbook for students in philosophy departments of comprehensive universities to study the course "History of Western Philosophy," and can also serve as a reference for self-learners. Researching history requires a thorough grasp of primary sources. The primary sources of the history of philosophy are the original works of philosophers. However, the original philosophical works are vast and overwhelming. For beginners, in addition to attending lectures, the time available for self-study is limited, and they can only study a small, essential part under the guidance of the instructor as basic training. Therefore, it is necessary to select representative passages from the works of major philosophers to meet teaching needs. This is the purpose of compiling this book.
