The 8th edition of Classics of Western Philosophy trumps the 7th edition-as well as all competing anthologies-by including Plato's Laches, selections from Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics (on courage), Descartes' Discourse on Method, the remainder of Berkeley's Treatise Concerning the Principles of Human Knowledge, and the whole of Kant's Prolegomena, all in preeminent translations.
