Publisher's Synopsis
Designed for students in Christian colleges and seminaries, An Introduction to Philosophy surveys the four main areas of philosophy - logic, metaphysics, epistemology, and ethics - in an accessible and engaging manner. Yet, it also covers important topics sometimes left unaddressed in introductions, including:
- why philosophy matters in our day
- critical thinking and intellectual virtue
- a brief history of philosophy
- philosophical hermeneutics
- the relationship between philosophy, faith, and worldview
- religious epistemology
- bioethics, sexual ethics, other types of ethics
- a Christian philosophy of life
Grounded in the Christian intellectual tradition, each chapter in An Introduction to Philosophy includes student-friendly features such as chapter summaries, explanatory sidebars, reflection questions, vocabulary words and definitions, and suggestions for further reading. Professors and students will find it to be a broad and useful overview, perfect for undergraduate and seminary students alike.
