Doing Philosophy
Merchant: Oxfam
Merchant's Category: Media> Books
Doing Philosophy presents the basics of how to do philosophy - what philosophy is, how we can think, the nature of logic, some special terms - in straightforward easy to understand style. Then, using questions and exercises as well as everyday examples, the author takes the reader on a wide-ranging tour of exciting philosophical topics which, as well as the 'standard fare' of logic, epistemology, mind, God etc., also includes ethical, social, scientific, cultural and human issues such as time, cosmology, war, animal rights, euthanasia, abortion, genetics, evolution, and the meaning of life. The author's emphasis throughout is that philosophy is accessible to anyone keen enough to try and do it and that, as a subject, philosophy is practical, fascinating and exciting. By encouraging independent critical thinking and being succinct yet informative, the book involves the reader with the history, the breadth of subject matter, the skills of philosophising and the benefits that philosophy can offer to the enquiring individual. The book accesses major philosophical topics briefly, breaking them down into convenient chunks with challenging questions throughout and exercise questions at the end of each chapter, and introduces major thinkers and their ideas. There is an extensive further reading list to help those who wish to take this absorbing subject further.
