Présentation de l'éditeur

Introducing Philosophy: A Text with Integrated Readings, Canadian edition, introduces beginning philosophy students to the core philosophical queries that have shaped our ways of thinking. The authors introduce students to classic and often complex problems by integrating carefully selected excerpts from primary source readings with accessible commentary. By combining readings that span the history of philosophy from ancient times to the present-day, Introducing Philosophy chronicles how philosophical thought has developed across the ages. The text is organized into seven topical chapters that cover the major areas of philosophy: the nature of reality, religion, knowledge, mind and body, self and freedom, ethics, and justice. In each chapter, students will encounter selections that present a diverse range of positions and concerns, both Western and Eastern. Building on the solid foundation laid out in the ninth US edition of Robert C. Solomon's Introducing Philosophy, this new edition successfully adapts the content to the needs of Canadian students. While retaining the focus on the work of the pillars of philosophical thought-from Plato to Descartes to Freud and beyond-the new edition also highlights major contributions from key Canadian thinkers, including Jean Vanier, Tommy Douglas, Pierre Trudeau, and Lorraine Code. In addition, seven new pieces-commissioned specifically for this text and written by notable Canadian academics-present contemporary analyses of classic problems within the Canadian context. This book has an accompanying Student Resource Website and Instructor Resource Website (with Instructor's manual).
