Introducing Philosophy: A Text with Integrated Readings

Description

Introducing Philosophy: A Text with Integrated Readings, Eleventh Edition, is an exciting, accessible, and thorough introduction to the core questions of philosophy and the many ways in which they are, and have been, answered. The authors combine substantial selections from significant works in the history of philosophy with excerpts from current philosophy, clarifying the readings and providing context with their own detailed commentary and explanation. Spanning 2,500 years, the selections range from the oldest known fragments to cutting-edge contemporary essays. Organized topically, the chapters present alternative perspectives-including analytic, continental, feminist, and non-Western viewpoints-alongside the historical works of major Western philosophers. Review: Book in order - The book came on time and is as expected. However, I have written Oxford U. Press to get the "Instructor's Manual": "The Companion Website includes all the material from the Instructor's Manual" -- but get a big run-around and no results. You have to have a login, and for some reason I can't log in (after 2 months of informing them). Review: Very Interesting! - I bought this textbook for my Philosophy 101 class this summer. And I was glad I purchased it (my college's bookstore tends to overcharge). The book comes with readings that I found to be intriguing and made me think. Not only did I enjoy this book, but I have come to love it because of my professor. Philosophy is already a hard subject as it is; the book made learning about philosophy easier. It breaks things down and makes it so that an average person can understand.
