Earlier editions of Understand Philosophy were published as Teach Yourself Philosophy. The book remains substantially the same, but new features have been added and the text has been revised.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 The new edition - renamed 'Undersatanding...' rather than 'Teach Yuorself' has been fully revised. It will also be linked to additional material available on-line at Hodder Education.
