Synopsis

TRAVERSING PHILOSOPHICAL BOUNDARIES is the most comprehensive multicultural anthology for introductory philosophy on the market today. Addressing six primary philosophical concerns--the self, reality, epistemology, ethics, politics, and religion--this book contains not only many readings from the Western canon, but also essential readings from many cultural perspectives not typically included in introductory philosophy classes. Asian, African, African-American, Latin American, and Feminist traditions are broadly represented and fully integrated into the exploration of these fundamental matters. The text also includes several readings from the sciences, with selections from Charles Darwin, Stephen Hawking, and Jared Diamond.
