Philosophy: A Text with Readings Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

This highly engaging text will not only help you explore and understand philosophy-it will also give you an appreciation of how philosophy is relevant to your day-to-day life as well as the larger social world. Author Manuel Velasquez combines clear prose and primary source readings to take you on a meaningful exploration of a range of philosophical topics, such as human nature, feminist theory, diversity, and aesthetics. Plus, the text's carefully crafted built-in learning aids will help you succeed in your course.

Book News Annotation:

Velasquez (Santa Clara U.) presents a philosophy textbook organized around self-discovery and autonomy, updated for this edition to include recent philosophical developments, review summaries presented in margins, and a list of films related to philosophical themes. Other revisions and reorganizations have been made. Discussions of the theory of intelligent design, memory, the deflationary theory of truth, and love and friendship are new, and new readings have been added by Martin, Wolff, and others. Those by twentieth-century philosophers are incorporated. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
