Philosophical Problems and Arguments
Anotace: This major version -- the first since 1982 -- features an extensive change in content, as well as a more capacious page and wider margins. Chapter One introduces the student to the nature of philosophy as a discipline and to the methods of philosophical argument. While maintaining scrupulous examination of positions, arguments, and objections, every chapter has been reworked to improve its organisation, to make it more accessible and engaging to the student, and to reflect recent discussions.
New exercises have been added throughout. Subsequent chapters treat the same fundamental topics as in earlier editions: knowledge and scepticism, freedom and determinism, the mind-body problem, the rationality of belief in God, and the problem of choosing an ethical standard.
