From the writings of Buddha, Plato, and the Dalai Lama and so many others, the philosophical works in this anthology will help you explore seminal philosophical questions in ethics, epistemology, and metaphysics. VOICES OF WISDOM is a group of culturally diverse readings on topics that range from terrorism, civil disobedience, homosexuality, human rights, animal rights, language, truth and power. Each chapter's introduction gives you just the right amount of background before you read on.
