Synopsis
A PREFACE TO PHILOSOPHY addresses foundational questions such as "What is a philosophical problem?", "What purposes does philosophy serve?", and "How does one go about doing philosophy?" It helps to ease the transition into a type of academic course for which most students have had little preparation. Saving instructors valuable class time for examining specific philosophical issues, this classic book?now in print for over thirty years?has helped thousands of students learn to think philosophically, recognize philosophical problems, and avoid the common pitfalls involved in writing critical philosophical essays.
