Philosophy in Practice – An Introduction to the Main Questions 2e

Autor Morton
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 28 oct 2003
Philosophy in Practice is a completely new kind of introductory textbook, focusing on philosophy as an activity, rather than a doctrine. At its heart is a stimulating sequence of exercises, activities, and examples that lead the student directly into philosophical thinking and arguing.


The book is divided into three parts, concentrating on issues of reason, experience, and reality. Each is covered in a way that makes clear both the key connections between metaphysics, epistemology, and ethics, and the main trends in the history of philosophy. It provides the ideal general introduction to philosophy.

This second edition has been extensively revised. There are new discussions of the philosophy of religion, freedom, The Matrix, and the epistemology of the Internet. In addition, a companion website includes an online teacher's guide with resources for students, suggestions for teaching with the book, plus tests and essay topics: www.blackwellpublishing.com/pip
