Description
Are 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 bedevilled 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, including feminist philosophers and Native American thought. The book draws examples from popular culture and explores cutting-edge philosophical questions raised by scientific discoveries, such as whether dolphins are nonhuman persons with rights.
Each chapter includes discussion questions, boxed highlights, and suggestions for further reading.
