Roots of Wisdom: Speaking the Language of Philosophy

This text explores the basic questions that concern philosophers from an integrated, multicultural/feminist approach. The author encourages students to think of philosophy as an intellectually challenging and culturally stimulating way of thinking about life.

William Garret, John F. Kennedy University; "The approach of the text is admirable . . . I can't imagine a better organization than the one Mitchell has used. . . . The strength of Mitchell's book is that she highlights the strong connections between philosophy and religion. . . . Again, Mitchell's inclusion of Asian and African sources is a real plus. . . . Mitchell's narrative style is superb-and, very important, readable."
