"Free will: mental energy that poofs into existence from
scratch?"In pairing key ideas from the history of philosophy with
examples from everyday life and culture, David Cunning produces a
clear, incisive and engaging introduction to philosophy. "Everyday
Examples" explores historical philosophy and the contemporary
theory scene and includes ideas from both the analytic and
continental traditions. This broad sweep of topics provides a
synoptic overview of philosophy as a discipline and philosophizing
as an activity.With examples drawn from everything from "The Matrix
"and "Sesame Street "to sleepwalking, driving, dancing, playing a
sport and observing animals, students are pointed to ways in which
they can be a philosopher outside the classroom in the everyday
world.As well as providing entertaining and relatable examples from
everyday life, this book will be especially useful in the
classroom, it is accessible and discussion-oriented, so that
students can get first-hand practice at actually 'doing'
philosophy. This accessibility does not come at the expense of
rigour but, rather, provides a 'way in' to thinking about the major
issues, figures and moments in the history of philosophy. The
chapters are divided into brief sustainable nuggets so that
students can get a definite handle on each issue and also be the
expert for the day on a given section.There are suggested study
questions at the end of each chapter that bring out the force of
each side of the many different issues.An indispensable tool for
those approaching philosophy for the first time.
