Riassunto

This useful and richly informative book will inspire and motivate readers to appreciate the importance and relevance of philosophy in their everyday lives. A user-friendly format provides detailed content coverage and critical reasoning skills development. Its “applied focus” pays attention to the personal and practical relevance of philosophy by focusing on its experiential, therapeutic, and social applications—complemented by a built-in study guide and substantial excerpts from classical original sourceworks. Six chapters cover: what philosophy is, philosophies of life, logic and philosophical method, epistemology and metaphysics, ethics, and political philosophy. For individuals new to, and interested in, the study of philosphy.

"Experiencing Philosophy is the best introductory philosophy book I have seen in years! I really like the approachable writing style, the emphasis on students developing their own personal philosophies, and the inclusion of multicultural perspectives. The book covers a wide range of issues, nicely weaves in contemporary cultural events in its discussion, and includes judicious source readings. The study guides for each chapter are also excellent and will be helpful for both the student and instructor." ― Andrew J. Dell'Olio, Hope College
