Overview
Doing Philosophy helps students understand the nature and purpose of philosophy by tracing the historical development of philosophical thinking on a number of central problems and showing how philosophical theories are tested and revised by means of argument and thought experiment. Numerous thought probes and news items encourage students to reflect on their own philosophy and demonstrate the importance of philosophical thinking for understanding contemporary issues. By acquainting students with the process of philosophical inquiry and giving them the tools to formulate their own philosophy, this text fosters active learning and helps students become better thinkers.
