To the complete novice, learning about philosophy can be a cause for dread—“I won’t understand” is a common reaction to the mere mention of the subject, which is often assumed to be too complex and confusing for the average reader. DK’s The Philosophy Book will show that philosophy doesn't have to be a daunting subject. With the use of easy-to-follow graphics and artworks, succinct quotations, and thoroughly accessible text, this book cuts through the haze of misunderstanding surrounding the subject, untangling knotty theories and shedding light on abstract concepts. The book is organized as a history of philosophy. Each idea—and the philosopher who first voiced it—is placed chronologically, and is cross-referenced to earlier and later ideas. Contents The Ideas (336PP) Siddhartha Gautama Thales: “Know Thyself” Pythagoras Lao Tzu: “The Tao That Can Be Told Is Not The Eternal Tao” Confucius Heraclitus Parmenides Protagoras: “Man Is The Measure Of All Things” Zeno of Elea Socrates Plato: “Everything Is Becoming, Nothing Is” Aristotle Epicurus Zeno of Citium: “Happiness Is A Good Flow Of Life” Han Feizi Plotinus Augustine: “There Is No Salvation Outside The Church” Avicenna Averroës Thomas Aquinas William of Ockham Niccolò Machiavelli: “Reprehensible Actions May Be Justified By Their Effects” Francisco de Vitoria Francisco Suárez Francis Bacon Thomas Hobbes René Descartes: “I Think, Therefore I Am” Benedictus Spinoza John Locke Gottfried Leibniz George Berkeley David Hume: “Reason Is The Slave Of The Passions” Jean-Jacques Rousseau Immanuel Kant Edmund Burke Jeremy Bentham: “Every Law Is Contrary To Liberty” Johann Gottlieb Fichte Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel: “Only In The State Does Man Have A Rational Existence” Arthur Schopenhauer Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph von Schelling Auguste Comte Ralph Waldo Emerson: “Every Natural Fact Is A Symbol Of Some Spiritual Fact” Ludwig Andreas Feuerbach John Stuart Mill Søren Aabye Kierkegaard Karl Marx: “From Each According To His Ability, To Each According To His Need” Charles Sanders Peirce William James Friedrich Nietzsche: “Man Is Something To Be Surpassed” Gottlob Frege Edmund Husserl Henri Bergson Nishido Katara Bertrand Russell José Ortega y Gasset Ludwig Wittgenstein: “The Limits Of My Language Are The Limits Of My World” Martin Heidegger Rudolf Carnap Hans-Georg Gadamer Gilbert Ryle Karl Popper Theodor Wiesengrund Adorno Jean-Paul Sartre: “Man Is Condemned To Be Free” Willard Van Orman Quine Arne Dekke Eide Naess John Rawls Thomas Samuel Kuhn Michel Foucault Noam Chomsky: “Colorless Green Ideas Sleep Furiously” Jurgen Habermas Jacques Derrida: “There Is Nothing Outside Of The Text” Richard Rorty Saul Kripke

This highly readable volume offers a broad introduction to modern philosophy and philosophers. Scharfstein contends that personal experience, especially that of childhood, affects philosophers' sense of reality and hence the content of their philosophies. Basing his argument on biographical studies of twenty great philosophers, from Descartes to Sartre, he provides the beginnings of a psychological history of philosophy.

Writtten in an engaging lecture-style format, this 8th edition of Core Questions in Philosophy shows students how philosophy is best used to evaluate many different kinds of arguments and to construct sound theories. Well-known historical texts are discussed, not as a means to honor the dead or merely to describe what various philosophers have thought but to engage with, criticize, and even improve ideas from the past. In addition—because philosophy cannot function apart from its engagement with the wider society—traditional and contemporary philosophical problems are brought into dialogue with the physical, biological, and social sciences. Text boxes highlight key concepts, and review questions, discussion questions, and a glossary of terms are also included. Core Questions in Philosophy has served as a premier introductory textbook for three decades, with updates to each new edition. Key updates to this 8th edition include: A new chapter, "Probability and Bayes' Theorem" A new explanation of the concept of "soundness," as a useful tool in assessing arguments A clearer explanation, in the chapter on evolution, of the crucial biological idea that the similarities of different species provide evidence of their common ancestry A new discussion of evolutionary altruism in the chapter on psychological egoism A presentation of two interesting arguments from historically important Islamic and Confusian philosophers Improved clarity and updated material from philosophy and empirical research, throughout Revisions to the online list of recommended resources include: Additional recommendations of supplementary readings, with the inclusion of more work from female philosophers New recommended videos and podcasts, all organized by their relevance to each chapter in the book

First published in 1972, Philosophical Tasks was written to identify and examine some central themes in contemporary Anglo-American philosophy. The book explores the claim that philosophy is essentially linguistic, and considers in particular such topics as philosophy and science, fact and language, conceptual analysis, first- and second-order tasks, scepticism, ordinary language, and conceptual frameworks.
