The Basics of Western Philosophy is an introductory work for
students and the general reader. The book is divided into two
parts. Part I examines the process of philosophical discourse,
including discussions of some of its greatest practitioners,
elementary techniques of logical analysis, and a sketch of the
history of philosophy from its earliest beginnings among the
ancient Greeks to the current day. Part II considers the major
problems of philosophy: metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, social
philosophy, philosophy of religion, and philosophical anthropology.
Each chapter focuses on a set of philosophical concepts that are
central to a specific idea in philosophy, while offering insights
into philosophical questions relevant to the central problem. The
ideas of the great philosophers regarding that problem are
presented in detail and subjected to analysis and criticism.
Frequent sidebars contain background information or capsule
biographies of the philosophers. Included are an extensive
bibliography, an index, illustrations, and a timeline that marks
the dates of philosophers and schools of philosophy in each era.
