An excellent collection of works by the greatest philosophers of all times, from Lao Tzu to Jean Paul Sartre. Mr Deutsch edits, writes introductions and commentaries to the different subjects approached by the philosophers in their own lifetime. The book is organized in five areas: 1Who Am I? 2What is the aim of life? 3What do I Know and What is the Truth? 4What is Reality? 5What is Religious Experience?...Does God Exist?These questions have a variety of philosophical solutions, from Eastern and Western Cultures, and Mr Deutsch provides a wise and ample variety of responses through the choosen works displayed. The language is clear and user friendly all throughout the book; the introductions to each of the five subdivisions of the book are concise and very helpful. This book should be in every good library, as well as in collegues and universities.
