"This excellent collection breaks a silence that effectively has kept the Spanish-language voices of philosophy isolated from the dialogues that shape the field. Its broad historical sweep provides a good overview of the rich contributions made by philosophers from the Iberian peninsula . . . . This collection is a welcome addition to the growing literature on Spanish-language philosophy.” —Choice "Spanning two millenia, this indispensable and highly readable collection presents the classic foundations of Spanish thought, ranging from Seneca to Unamuno and Ortega. The author provides useful and focused introductions to periods and authors along with some important new translations." —Amy A. Oliver, American University “This collection is a welcome addition to the almost nonexistent number of collections of philosophy texts in English from Spain. It should be of use to students of philosophy and Spanish literature and intellectual history, and also to scholars from other disciplines who specialize in these areas of the world.” —Jorge J. E. Gracia, State University of New York, University at Buffalo “A long overdue resource for scholars and for instructors in courses in the history of philosophy, this anthology makes available to English-speakers a concise collection of some monumental works of Spanish philosophical thought. It deserves a wide readership.” —Gary Seay, City University of New York “For the past few decades there has been a growing interest in Latin American philosophy, Hispanic/Latino philosophical issues, and Hispanic/Latino studies throughout North American universities. Because a significant part of the foundations of Latin American philosophy can be traced to Spanish philosophy, the increased interest in the former has naturally spilled over into the latter. This book, therefore, will be an essential resource not only for those interested in the history of philosophy but also for those engaged in the growing fields of Latin American philosophy and Hispanic/Latino studies.“ —Benardo J. Cantens, Moravian College
