Philosophy: A Text with Readings

by Manuel G. Velasquez, Ambrose Bierce, James Joyce

Combining clear, accessible prose and many primary sources, Velasquez provides a complete introduction to the discipline in a way that students find interesting and meaningful. The text provides substantive attention to topics not often covered in most introductory texts, including feminist theory, continental philosophy, and diversity. Chapter organization encourages thinking and study in amounts students can master, while examples and questions help connect philosophy to their own experiences. Historical Showcases put development of topics into context for a big picture view.
