Core Questions in Philosophy: A Text With Readings

Presented in an engaging lecture-style format, this combined textbook-anthology presents a series of discussions on the basic issues and ideas in philosophy, with lectures supported by related readings from historically important sources. While the author's lecture approach lends this book a natural flow and sense of immediacy, it comprises a fully integrated book with all of the traditional organizational and pedagogical features to aid users¿ learning, including chapter summaries, marginal notes, boxed inserts, discussion questions, problems, test questions, a glossary, and bibliography. The discussions emphasize the logic of philosophical arguments; and, in particular, how they relate to the content of modern physical and social sciences.
