"This sixth edition of The Study of Philosophy preserves the strengths of the earlier editions - a conversational tone, intriguing examples, and timely reflections on the major fields of philosophical inquiry by seminal thinkers in the history of ideas - and expands those discussions in compelling new directions. This new edition is distinctive for integrating contemporary treatment of continental and analytic philosophy, theories of justice, and feminism. It is a time-honored text, revised for students in the 21st century!"--BOOK JACKET.

A Good Philosophy 101 Textbook
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
For the most part, this is a good book for Intro to Philosophy. The authors make a good attempt to bring the subject closer to home for the readers. It can get a little boring at times, and I wish it had more works from the philosophers, but overall, it is good.
More accessible than the rest.

As I was reading this text, (mind you just for fun, and for the enjoyment of my own personal endeavors) I could not help but notice that this textbook is easy to understand. If this book was given to someone with no knowledge of philosophy,(the beginning student for example)he/she would have an easier time of understanding that eternal question, "What is philosophy?" The chapters are well written,often using humorous yet, thought provoking quotes alongside the text. I really would recommend this book to someone who wants to venture toward attaining an understanding of philosophy. Everything in life I believe branches off from philosophia, this book allows you to understand that. - enrique de la Garza III
