This title in other formats:Looking at Philosophy: The Unbearable Heaviness of Philosophy Made Lighterby Donald Palmer
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Distilled from Donald Palmer's more than 30 years of teaching experiences, this approachable text, historically organized text exemplifies Dr. Palmer's very successful light-hearted approach to teaching introduction to philosophy. Through the use of humor, drawings, charts, and diagrams, serious philosophical topics come alive for the readers--without compromising the seriousness of the subject matter. The text can be used as a core text or as a supplement to any reader. Book News Annotation:Palmer (emeritus, College of Marin) says this is not the philosophy
book composed entirely of jokes that Wittgenstein once proposed,
quite. He takes philosophy seriously but not gravely as a way to
introduce the discipline to students. The latest edition includes new
cartoon-like illustrations and enhances the sections of the
pre-Socratics, Descartes, and Kantian thought. No dates are mentioned
for earlier ones.
