Philosophy for Everyone begins by explaining what philosophy is
before exploring the questions and issues at the foundation of this
important subject. Key topics in this new edition and their areas
of focus include: Moral philosophy - the nature of our moral
judgments and reactions, whether they aim at some objective moral
truth, or are mere personal or cultural preferences; and the
possibility of moral responsibility given the sorts of things that
cause behavior; Political philosophy - fundamental questions about
the nature of states and their relationship to the citizens within
those states Epistemology - what our knowledge of the world and
ourselves consists in, and how we come to have it; and whether we
should form beliefs by trusting what other people tell us;
Philosophy of mind - what it means for something to have a mind,
and how minds should be understood and explained; Philosophy of
science - foundational conceptual issues in scientific research and
practice, such as whether scientific theories are true; and
Metaphysics - fundamental questions about the nature of reality,
such as whether we have free will, or whether time travel is
possible. This book is designed to be used in conjunction with the
free 'Introduction to Philosophy' MOOC (massive open online course)
created by the University of Edinburgh's Eidyn research centre, and
hosted by the Coursera platform
(www.coursera.org/course/introphil).This book is also highly
recommended for anyone looking for a short overview of this
fascinating discipline.
