Introduction to Philosophy: Themes for Classroom and Reflection is
a series of original essays that span the breadth of topics
commonly discussed in the college classroom. Designed to serve as
conversation starters, the essays take a reconciliatory approach to
controversial issues while still challenging students to think
beyond commonly held positions. The essays are grouped by theme
into dedicated parts on defining philosophy, logical matters,
metaphysics, epistemology, metaethics, normative ethics, social
morality, political morality, biomedical ethics, professional
ethics, sexuality, faith and the supernatural, and aesthetics.
Topics range from the theoretical in essays on empirical skepticism
and whether or not we can truly think outside the box, to the
social in a writing on the potential dangers of wealth, to the
personal in a work on the purpose of sex. The third edition
includes 20 new essays and expands the breadth of coverage
considerably. Additionally, for the first time, each essay includes
questions for discussion. Introduction to Philosophy successfully
avoids being polemic while still encouraging students to engage in
considered debate on difficult subjects. The book is designed for
use in introductory philosophy and ethics classes, and can also
serve as a reader for philosophically-based discussion groups.
