Synopsis

Thinking Philosophically: An Introduction to the Great Debates presents a highly accessible introduction to five of the most fundamental debates in world philosophy.

• Features chapters that each consider a central philosophical question dialectically by exploring the conflicting approaches of different philosophers
• Argues that the work of philosophers like Plato and Rousseau is just as relevant today as it was in their own time
• Provides a structure that encourages readers to apply philosophical principles to their everyday lives
