Philosophical Problems: An Annotated Anthology

The anthology for a topically organized introductory course in philosophy is intended to convey the tone of the various philosophers and the inherently controversial and dialectical character of the profession. The sections cover what philosophy is, god and faith, knowledge and skepticism, minds and bodies, free will and moral responsibility, morality and moral problems, the legitimacy of government and the nature of justice, and philosophy and the good life. The selections range from three to 20 pages. A guide to writing a philosophical essay is appended. A glossary without pronunciation guides is provided, but no index.
