商品簡介
This intriguing yet relatively gentle introduction to philosophy, looks at the major philosophical questions and their many answers and nonanswers, and its aim is to motivate and prepare beginning students for a first course in philosophy. It deconstructs students' attachments to ready-made answers, encouraging speculation on topics such as God, knowledge, reality, and death, and engages students in the skills they need to interact critically with the material typically presented in an introductory course.
