Mitchell's ROOTS OF WISDOM: A TAPESTRY OF PHILOSOPHICAL TRADITIONS,
Eighth Edition, explores worldviews by examining universal and
current philosophical issues through a rich tapestry of
perspectives, including the ideas and traditions of men and women
from the West, Asia, the Americas and Africa. Worldviews reveal
core beliefs and determine who is and who is not a person, what an
Ultimate Reality might be like and how to resolve the personal,
political and social questions that shape ethical decision making.
The text couples unrivaled breadth of multicultural coverage with a
clear and concise presentation. Striking images from fine art,
cartoons, poetry, movies, current events and popular music
illustrate our diverse cultural inheritance. Lively discussions
include the Confucian Socially Molded Self, issues of sovereignty
and citizenship and the philosophical concept of personhood.
Helen and Betty Mitchell were approached by humanoid space aliens
at a coffee shop in St. Louis, Missouri in the late 1950s. Taught
how to communicate with the Space People from Mars and Venus, they
receive messages from their new friends. Finally they are taken on
a space ship voyage. This is the account of their experiences and
the messages they were given by the aliens: abolish nuclear
weapons, create education television programming and become
vegetarians or face extinction.
