classical text of the Treatise Concerning the Principles of Human
Knowledge in bold font, a running commentary blended seamlessly
into the text in regular font and analytic summaries of each
section. The commentary is like a professor on hand to guide the

the intricate argumentation. The unique design helps today's

philosophy's most important and exciting classics.
This groundbreaking volume investigates the most fundamental
question of all: Why is there something rather than nothing? The
question is explored from diverse and radical perspectives:
religious, naturalistic, platonistic and skeptical. Does science
answer the question? Or does theology? Does everything need an
explanation? Or can there be brute, inexplicable facts? Could there
have been nothing whatsoever? Or is there any being that could not
have failed to exist? Is the question meaningful after all? The
volume advances cutting-edge debates in metaphysics, philosophy of
cosmology and philosophy of religion, and will intrigue and
challenge readers interested in any of these subjects.

Applied Ethics: An Impartial Introduction prepares readers to
evaluate selected classical and contemporary problems in applied
ethics in a way that does justice to their complexity without
sacrificing clarity or fairness of representation. Its balanced
exposition and analysis, enhanced by helpful pedagogical features,
make it an ideal book for introducing the ethics of real-life
problems including abortion, animal rights, disability, the
environment, poverty, and punishment.
Proving the existence of God is a perennial philosophical ambition.
An armchair proof would be the jackpot. Ontological arguments
promise as much. This Element studies the most famous ontological
arguments from Anselm, Descartes, Plantinga, and others besides.
While the verdict is that ontological arguments don't work, they
get us entangled in fun philosophical puzzles, from philosophy of
religion to philosophy of language, from metaphysics to ethics, and
beyond.
