Featuring selections from around the globe, Introduction to World
Philosophy: A Multicultural Reader provides a diverse and engaging
introduction to five key areas of philosophy: ethics, philosophy of
mind and self, epistemology, metaphysics, and philosophical
theology. The editors have arranged these topics according to their
increasing complexity--from the most concrete (ethics) to the most
theoretical (philosophical theology)--making the material as
accessible as possible for students. Organized both chronologically
and geographically, the anthology's five parts include readings
from Indian, Chinese, Greek, Christian, Jewish, Islamic, Spanish,
Latin-American, and African traditions, as well as selections from
early modern, Kantian, and post-Kantian philosophy.
Introduction to World Philosophy contains 136 selections (24 by
women), organized into 25 chapters; these chapters are divided into
93 sections, each of which opens with a detailed introduction that
prepares students for the readings that follow. The parts and
chapters can be used in any order and in any combination. The
text's unique modular structure gives instructors great flexibility
in designing and teaching introduction to philosophy courses. The
book is further enhanced by a glossary, a Companion Website at
www.oup.com/us/bonevac, and an Instructor's Manual (available both
in print and on a CD) that offers suggested syllabi, discussion
questions, test questions, suggested readings, and PowerPoint
slides.
