Reviews"Using an engaging writing style with a friendly tone, this book makes the philosophical quest for wisdom relatable. Incorporating examples spanning from antiquity to contemporary times, Discovering Philosophy provides an inviting context, especially for students wanting to become more at ease with doing philosophy." --Dr. Raymond Marion Watkins, Central Carolina Technical College, " Discovering Philosophy illuminates the wonders of philosophy with insight and substance, balancing intellectual rigor and practical application, exploring central figures and important concepts. This is a fantastic introduction to philosophy!" --B. Patrick Williams, Chair, Philosophy and Religious Studies, Chemeketa Community College

Edition DescriptionNew Edition
SynopsisAre we free or determined? Are things really the way they appear to be? What's the difference between right and wrong? Can God's 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., Are we free or determined? Are things really the way they appear to be?
