Product Description
Philosophy: Key Themes is a lively and accessible introductory guide to understanding and analysing philosophical arguments. Designed for complete beginners, it provides brief overviews of five major themes in Western philosophy: Theory of Knowledge, Moral Philosophy, Philosophy of Religion, Philosophy of Mind and Political Philosophy. The main thematic points are clearly and imaginatively discussed, along with a range of criticism which will help you to think about and question the validity of the claims being made. A general introduction provides essential advice on how to read and make sense of philosophical arguments.
Each chapter contains:
- an explanation of the most important areas in each theme
- a selection of critical stances to highlight the potential weaknesses in the positions examined
- a summary and glossary of key terms to help you understand the main concepts
- suggestions for further reading
Invaluable at the start of a course of study, as a revision aid, or as a lucid jargon-free guide for anyone who wants an insight into philosophy, Philosophy: Key Themes can be used either independently of, or together with, its companion volume Philosophy: Key Texts.
