Book Description

July 20, 2003 0415227100 978-0415227100 annotated edition
Fundamentals of Philosophy is a comprehensive and accessible introduction to philosophy. Based on the well-known series of the same name, this textbook brings together specially commissioned articles by leading philosophers of philosophy's key topics.
Each chapter provides an authoritative overview of topics commonly taught at undergraduate level, focusing on the major issues that typically arise when studying the subject. Discussions are up to date and written in an engaging manner so as to provide students with the core building blocks of their degree course. Fundamentals of Philosophy is an ideal starting point for those coming to philosophy for the first time and will be a useful complement to the primary texts studied at undergraduate level. Ideally suited to novice philosophy students, it will also be of interest to those in related subjects across the humanities and social sciences.

Editorial Reviews

Review

'The chapters are of a uniformly high quality and many are written by luminaries in their fields ... ' - James Ladyman, senior lecturer in philosophy, Bristol University, The Times Higher Education Supplement


'The collection really comes into its own in terms of the breadth of subjects covered and the depth of discussion. Few other introductions contain such detailed discussions; even fewer do so while covering such a range of subjects.' - Chris Lindsay, University of Glasgow

About the Author

John Shand is Associate Lecturer at the Open University. He is series editor of the Fundamentals of Philosophy series (Routledge), author of Arguing Well (Routledge, 2000) and Philosophy and Philosophers (Acumen 2002).
