Abstract

What is this thing called Philosophy? is the definitive textbook for all who want a thorough introduction to the field. It introduces philosophy using a question-led approach that reflects the discursive nature of the discipline.

The core areas of philosophy covered are:

Ethics
Political Philosophy
Aesthetics
Epistemology
Philosophy of Mind
Metaphysics
Philosophy of Science
Philosophy of Religion
The Meaning of Life.
The accompanying Routledge companion website features valuable online resources for both instructors and students including links to audio and video material, multiple-choice questions, interactive flashcards, essay questions and annotated further reading.
