Questioning Matters: An Introduction to Philosophical Analysis

by Daniel Kolak

Questioning Matters is an accessible, provocative collection of readings organized around central topics that are solidly grounded in classical, foundational issues, but relevant to today’s world. Kolak’s compilation emphasizes philosophical reasoning processes and methods more than any other anthology. The focus is on learning to ask the right questions and to analyze and formulate arguments; an underlying theme is that philosophy is not merely a collection of views and theories, but an activity as relevant to the timeless issues of existence as the practical concerns of today.
