Märksõnad:
Accessible, flexible, and affordable, The World of Philosophy: An Introductory Reader, Second Edition, presents philosophy in all its diverse array of thought and practice, offering a distinctive combination of standard analytical materials and Western historical texts alongside writings reflecting Chinese, Japanese, Indian, Arabic, African, South American, Chicano, and Native American sources. Approximately 25% of the contemporary readings are by women, including leading feminist theorists. Many articles have been edited to sharpen their focus and make them understandable to students with little or no background in philosophy. The readings are enhanced by introductions, study questions, and a glossary at the end of the book.

Arvustused

"The World of Philosophy is comprehensive in its breadth with the right dose of depth. It covers all the possible philosophical topics for introductory classes with unparalleled attention to diversity of voices in classic and contemporary philosophical literature."--Fidel Arnecillo, California State University, San Bernadino "This textbook is easily the best, the most comprehensive, and the most affordable introduction to philosophy textbook on the market. It is an excellent mixture of classic, contemporary, and diverse sources. The teaching resources are invaluable."--Albert Spencer, Portland State University "The book's greatest strengths are its choice of selections, the incorporation of Eastern philosophy, and its recognition of superb women philosophers who appear to get little notice in other texts."--Dominic Prianti III, Gannon University "The quality of the book is excellent. It is admirably pluralistic in its inclusion of works of Asian philosophy." --Carol Gould, Florida Atlantic University
