| Summary: | Philosophy in Practice is a completely new kind of introductory philosophy textbook, focusing on philosophy as an activity, rather than doctrine. At its heart is a stimulating sequence of exercises, activities, and examples which lead the student directly into philosophical thinking and arguing. The book has three parts, focusing on issues of reason, experience, and reality. Each part is covered in a way that makes clear both the key connections between metaphysics, epistemology and ethics, and the main trends in the history of philosophy. Taken as a whole, the book provides the ideal general introduction to philosophy. |
