Knowing, Being, Doing. Exphil: Textbook with Primary Texts
What does it mean to possess knowledge about something? What kinds of things exist and can be known? How should we live? What matters and what has value?
In this book, we seek to answer these questions by examining contributions from the history of philosophy, science and ethics. The book has 20 chapters divided into three parts. Part 1, Knowing, asks questions about knowledge. Part 2, Being, starts by asking about what is real. Part 3, Doing, is devoted to ethics. Every chapter has an introduction and one or in some cases two original texts written either by contemporary thinkers or by important figures from the history of philosophy and science. Each chapter is accompanied by study questions and learning goals.
The aim of this book is twofold: to teach you to become a critical reader, who can identify positions, arguments, and structures in a scientific text; and to introduce you to some important positions and ideas in order to enable you to discuss the big questions raised in the book.

introduksjonane til tekstane e bra, men sjølve tekstane til filosofane e rotete oversatt til norsk som gjer dei vanskelig å følge :(

Brukte 50% av tiden på å ha imaginære diskusjoner med filosofene i denne boka, jeg vant alle. Likte veldig godt brevvekslingen mellom Descartes og Elisabeth av Böhmen og mellom Kant og Maria von Herbert.

tre stjerner i guess? men det er litt min egen feil for å ikke bruke mer tid på stoffet...

Skjønner ikke hva de skriver. Mye blanding mellom gamalt norsk og norsk i dag. Alt er skrevet tett. Gjør det vanskelig å lese. Absolut bleh

Introduksjonene til tekstene er veldig fint skrevet, men det er når oversettelsene av originaltekstene kommer at det kødder seg til. Om problemet ligger i at norsk er et ordfattig språk eller ikke skal jeg ikke legge meg opp i, men det gjør det tungt å lese og vanskelig å lære og forstå essensen i argumentasjonen til filosofene. Krever mye tid på hver tekst å virkelig forstå dem godt.

Absolutely horrible book translation with many words no one uses today. If you need it take it in English and thank me later.
