Editorials
Newsletter On Teaching Philosophy
Not only Cahn's lucidity but his philosophical passion and honesty shine through these essays. He is both scrupulously fair to opposing positions and straightforward in advocating his own, whether popular or not. The book will engage students and scholars alike. I found it a pleasure to read.— Alan H. Goldman, College of William & Mary
