THE BIG QUESTIONS, 10th Edition, covers philosophy's central ideas in an accessible, approachable manner.

This edition is now also available with MindTap Philosophy, a system of tools and apps -- from note taking to flashcards -- that help you understand course concepts, achieve better grades, and set the groundwork for your future courses.
