Bennett renders everything from Hobbes and Hume to Kant and Rousseau in contemporary English, without simplifying the philosophical content.

When I teach intro courses and am responsible for selecting the material, I do not use any texts that cannot be found free on that site or elsewhere on the internet. I even have some texts that I have downloaded from the internet that I place on BB. This does not violate any copy-write laws as this material is now in the public domain.John Alexanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16388418182862297211noreply@blogger.com
