Making Sense of it All: An Introduction to Philosophical Inquiry - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

A core text or supplement for courses in Introduction to Philosophy or Problems of Philosophy, and a supplementary text for introductory courses in Metaphysics and Philosophy of Mind. This brief, engaging problems-based approach to philosophic inquiry shows students why and how philosophic thought about fundamental problems in epistemology, ontology and moral theory can be of great help to us in our attempt to “make sense of it all” and to live “the good life” ― characterized (in part) by a deeper understanding of the world within and around us. It invites students to “think things through together” ― but without relying on any initial interest in either the subject matter or the methods of philosophic study. It encourages higher-order thought ― the critical examination of views, conceptual analysis, integrative thought, and the evaluation of arguments ― and shows students what an important and mind-transforming activity philosophic inquiry can be.
