Description
Don’t mistake this book for a high school course for a credit. That is not the goal here. Rather, this book will introduce your students to the study of philosophy using colorful graphics and user-friendly language. It begins with curiosity, but it doesn’t end there. Trace the history of metaphysics and epistemology from the ancients to the 20th century. Take a turn towards modern ethics and political philosophy, and enter formal logic. This takes complicated content and makes a solid attempt to make it understood by the average reader – no easy task there! It’s a fascinating read! Hardcover. ~Sara
