Description
What's the Difference? Philosophy by Dr. Adam Ferner delves into the subtle distinctions between terms that often get confused. What's the difference between sarcasm and irony? Or nihilism and fatalism? Or sex and gender?
This book is part of a new series presenting a fresh approach to popular reference, grounded in the question: 'What's the difference?'
Inside, you will find crystal-clear explanations of 150 paired words, building into a broad philosophy primer. Philosophical concepts are explored in pairs to help clarify common (and not-so-common) confusions. By investigating two definitions simultaneously, the book penetrates the essence of each topic, allowing you to avoid all too frequent conceptual slip-ups.
This book aids in defining your terms, enabling you to discern the difference between a chatterbox and a brainbox, a sophist and a sage, and most importantly, a well-informed argument and a sloppy debate.
