Writtten in an engaging lecture-style format, this 8th edition of
Core Questions in Philosophy shows students how philosophy is best
used to evaluate many different kinds of arguments and to construct
sound theories. Well-known historical texts are discussed, not as a
means to honor the dead or merely to describe what various
philosophers have thought but to engage with, criticize, and even
improve ideas from the past. In addition-because philosophy cannot
function apart from its engagement with the wider
society-traditional and contemporary philosophical problems are
brought into dialogue with the physical, biological, and social
sciences. Text boxes highlight key concepts, and review questions,
discussion questions, and a glossary of terms are also included.
Core Questions in Philosophy has served as a premier introductory
textbook for three decades, with updates to each new edition. Key
updates to this 8th edition include: A new chapter, "Probability
and Bayes' Theorem" A new explanation of the concept of
"soundness," as a useful tool in assessing arguments A clearer
explanation, in the chapter on evolution, of the crucial biological
idea that the similarities of different species provide evidence of
their common ancestry A new discussion of evolutionary altruism in
the chapter on psychological egoism A presentation of two
interesting arguments from historically important Islamic and
Confusian philosophers Improved clarity and updated material from
philosophy and empirical research, throughout Revisions to the
online list of recommended resources include: Additional
recommendations of supplementary readings, with the inclusion of
more work from female philosophers New recommended videos and
podcasts, all organized by their relevance to each chapter in the
book
