Discovering Philosophy
English
By (author): Prof. Thomas I. White
Are we free or determined? Are things really the way they appear to be? Whats the difference between right and wrong? Can Gods existence be demonstrated?
Discovering Philosophy looks at these and other fundamental questions that have bedeviled thinkers for centuries. Designed for students who are more comfortable with secondary than primary sources, Discovering Philosophy is both accessible and intellectually challenging. While it examines the ideas of traditional philosophers, it also considers perspectives that have historically been underrepresented (feminist philosophers and Native American thought), draws examples from popular culture, and considers cutting-edge philosophical questions raised by scientific discoveries (are dolphins nonhuman persons with rights?).
Each chapter includes discussion questions, boxed highlights, and suggestions for further reading. See more
