Introduction to Philosophy: Classical and Contemporary Readings,
Fourth Edition, is a highly acclaimed topically organized anthology
featuring eighty-four selections that cover five major areas of
philosophy--theory of knowledge, philosophy of religion, philosophy
of mind, freedom and determinism, and moral philosophy. Louis P.
Pojman and new coeditor James Fieser enhance the text's topical
organization by presenting opposing articles on each issue so that
students can better understand different perspectives. Offering a
unique feature for a collection of this depth, the editors also
include accessible introductions to each part, subsection, and
individual reading, providing context for the essays and
summarizing their key themes.
Beginning with the opening section, "What Is Philosophy?," the
book focuses on a compelling sampling of classical
material--including selections from Plato, Aristotle, Descartes,
Locke, Berkeley, Hume, and Kant. It also incorporates some of
philosophy's best contemporary work, offering articles by Harry
Frankfurt, Richard Taylor, John Searle, Thomas Nagel, and others.
The volume is enriched by helpful pedagogical features including
"Questions for Further Reflection" after each selection;
"Suggestions for Further Reading" at the end of the book; a
glossary; and two appendices--"How to Read and Write a Philosophy
Paper" and "A Little Bit of Logic."
The fourth edition includes the complete text of Descartes'
Meditations on First Philosophy and nine new selections:
* Sextus Empiricus: "Skepticism and Tranquility"
* Lorraine Code: "A Feminist Epistemology?"
* Samuel Clarke and David Hume: "The Causal Argument for
God"
* Voltaire: "The Bestof All Possible Worlds?"
* Rene Descartes: "Interactive Dualism"
* Anne Conway: "Mind and Body as a Continuum"
* Epictetus: "Stoic Resignation to Fate"
* David Hume: "Morality Not Derived from Reason"
* Alfred Jules Ayer: "Emotivism and Prescriptivism"
