I never read this book. But this guy teaches me a Philosophy class that is pretty unuseful. So don't buy it. Who really cares if the mind and soul is the same or not. A message to all philosophers: LISTEN TO PUNK ROCK (and stop wonderind who you are).

I took his philosophy class 6 years ago and I'd say it was the most enlightening, fun, and challenging class I ever had in college.

i used this book in teaching my high school philosophy class. excellent primary source material, and text prose. covers a wide variety of philosophers - both classical and modern. if you wish to begin a study of philosophy, this text is an excellent start

False Witness is the story of Prof. Melvin Rader¹s experiences as a target of the Washington State Legislature¹s Committee on Un-American Activities in 1948. In his own words, Rader vividly describes the tactics and procedures used by Albert Canwell and others in this ³investigation². Although eventually able to clear his name, Rader¹s chronicle reveals the civil rights violations which led to the dismissal of three University of Washington professors, punishments for three more, and the abandonment of ³due process² in the rush to find and punish ³Communists². A short, easy, informative read.
