More copies of this ISBN:Thinking Things Through: An Introduction to Philosophical Issues and Achievementsby Clark Glymour
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Thinking Things Through provides a broad, historical, and rigorous introduction to the logical tradition in philosophy and to its contemporary significance. The book centers around three of the most fruitful issues in Western thought: What are proofs and why do they provide knowledge? How can experience be used to gain knowledge or to alter beliefs in a rational way? What is the nature of mind and of mental events and mental states? In a clear and lively style, Glymour describes these key philosophical problems and traces attempts at solutions from ancient Greece to the present. A Bradford Book Review:andquot;I have never encountered an introductory text like this one. As far as textbooks go, it is unique. It attempts to present a side of philosophy that has been hidden from the view of all but its practitioners. . . . Glymour's book should make a good many people proud to be philosophers in the twentieth century.andquot; andmdash;Douglas Stalker, University of Delaware About the AuthorClark Glymour is Senior Research Scientist at IHMC and Alumni University Professor of Philosophy at Carnegie Mellon University.
