Philosophy: The Quest for Truth

Philosophy: The Quest for Truth by Pojman, Louis P.. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780190254773.

Praised for its unique combination of accessibility and comprehensiveness, Philosophy: The Quest for Truth, Tenth Edition, provides an excellent selection of ninety-five classical and contemporary readings--on twenty key problems in philosophy--carefully organized so that they present pro/con dialogues that allow students to compare and contrast the philosophers positions. Each of the readings is accompanied by study questions, end-of-reading reflective questions, and an individual introduction featuring a biographical sketch of the philosopher. A tutorial on logic and argument, a time line, boldfaced key terms, a detailed glossary, and an appendix on reading and writing philosophy papers further enhance the texts pedagogical value. In addition, each major section opens with a substantial introduction and ends with a short bibliography.
