This is a classic introduction to philosophy in the tradition of
Bertrand Russell's "The Problems of Philosophy" and A.J. Ayer's
"Central Questions of Philosophy". As in those books, here Margolis
focuses on the core of Western Philosophy - questions of
epistemology, ontology, language and logic. "An Introduction to
Philosophical Problems" represents a major and authoritative mind
revisiting basic problems and clarifying them both for their own
sake and for that of the reader. Margolis shows how arguments
concerning each of the chestnuts of Western philosophy are
inter-related and argues - honestly and transparently - in favour
of his own philosophical tradition, pragmatism. Thematically
structured, "Introduction to Philosophical Problems" introduces
such concepts as Knowledge and Belief, Perception and Sensation,
Identity and Individualism, and Language and Truth.
