AN INTRODUCTION TO PHILOSOPHY by Daniel J. Sullivan is intended for
the general reader as well as for the student. Its primary purpose
is to present the elements of philosophy with simplicity and
clarity in order to arouse that sense of wonder which Aristotle
says is the beginning of the love of wisdom.
This well-structured overview begins with an historical study of
philosophy, tracing the evolution of philosophical problems from
their simplest origins, and continues with an analysis of the more
concrete problems about man himself. The more abstract problems of
man and his relation to the world around him make up the final
study of this book.
Sullivan works in the great classical, realist tradition of Plato,
Aristotle, Augustine, Aquinas, and their modern-day inheritors,
exposing the perennially valid and vital principles of philosophy
and emphasizing the profound moral and social implications of these
principles. He respects the distinction between natural and
revealed wisdom, but does not hesitate to point out how the
conclusions of philosophy are complemented by the truths of
revelation.
AN INTRODUCTION TO PHILOSOPHY clearly demonstrates that philosophy
is a good deal more than a classroom exercise.
