Philosophical Problems: An Annotated Anthology, Reprint

by Laurence BonJour, Ann Baker

Edited and assembled by one of philosophy's foremost scholars in collaboration with a distinguished teacher, this introductory anthology offers both classic and contemporary primary source readings and schools students in developing distinctly philosophical habits of mind. In addition to the fine selection of primary source readings, this anthology offers a unique array of pedagogical features that, together, form a “roadmap” for thinking philosophically. These features begin with an introductory essay, followed by chapter introductions and marginal annotations that accompany the readings, and conclude with discussion questions and an appendix on writing about philosophy.

Excelente material para uso em sala de aula. Textos introdutórios aos principais problemas da filosofia (epistemologia, mente, livre arbítrio, moralidade, justiça, Deus) e seleção comentada de passagens importantes de obras clássicas.

[M.J. Mandoki · Rating 3 out of 5]

It is a good introduction to philosophical issues. The book covers a wide variety of topics and explains them well. Unfortunately, it is not unbiased. It is leaning toward philosophical materialism. It is a 20th century curse!
