内容説明

Accessible and engaging, this brief and inexpensive anthology provides contemporary and classical readings in the key areas of Introductory Philosophy. Part of Longman's Penguin Academics series, this brief, low-cost, anthology is only $30.00 net, much less than similar anthologies. Designed to be used on its own or with its companion text, Ultimate Questions: Thinking About Philosophy, this collection of readings covers the major topic areas in philosophy: Knowledge; Free Will; Personal Identity; Mind/Body; God; Ethics; and Political Philosophy. While focusing primarily on contemporary philosophy, it also includes many of the classic works essential to an introductory course.
