Synopsis

For one-semester courses in Introductory Philosophy.

In addition to providing detailed content coverage and critical reasoning skills development, this text pays serious attention to the personal and practical relevance of philosophy by focusing on its experiential, therapeutic, and social applications. The “applied focus,” intended to inspire students to further their studies in philosophy, is complemented by a built-in study guide and substantial excerpts from classical original sources. By combining the theoretical with the practical through the integration of descriptive outlines, readings, and numerous pedagogical aids, this book strikes an educationally productive balance between accessibility and academic rigor.
