by Stanley M. Honer, Thomas C. Hunt, Dennis L. Okholm
On This Page
Description
Using an issues-and-options approach, in a handbook format, this text deals with each major topic in philosophy by using a succinct, relevant, and readable presentation and critique of the representative options within each topic. A continuum helps students see the options available to answer a variety of basic questions and the relationship each option has to the others. The options found on the continuum are discussed and followed by a case study drawn from contemporary life that helps show more students to apply the options. show lessTags

The book is an overall introduction to philosophy. It explains the major issues discussed in philosophy, providing arguments in both favor and against these topics, leaving it on the reader to decide which is the right opinion. It also provides with references for further reading on each topic.
Highly recommended to anyone interested in philosophy but can't figure out where to start.
