Living Issues in Philosophy

Used by more than one million students around the world since its original publication, this introductory philosophy text continues to make a wide range of living philosophical issues accessible. Simplifying the technical language of philosophy wherever possible, the book sets forth vital questions of contemporary interest against an overall framework of enduring concepts. Emphasizing personal and immediate questions, the authors approach introductory philosophy through basic human questions rather than focusing on methodology or the history of thought. Issues concerning art, history, and education are woven throughout the book.
