Informal Philosophy provides an original look at how we should
understand and teach philosophy. Avrum Stroll persuasively argues
that philosophy should be evaluated using its own methodology and
should not merely mimic formal scientific analysis, because while
modern science does inform our philosophical views about man and
his place in nature, it does not solve philosophical problems.
Stroll effectively makes the case for the use of informal
philosophy_that is, an approach guided by common sense, appealing
to ordinary discourse, and employing a context-driven line of
inquiry_to answer philosophical problems.
