This popular introduction to modern philosophy features question-based chapters with a stimulating debate-style format, and intersperses primary sources with commentary. Each chapter deals with a fundamental question about human existence, exploring the subject through representative readings by classic, modern, and contemporary philosophers--with at least two contrasting perspectives for each main position. What Is Philosophy? Am I a Body and a Mind? Am I Free or Determined? What Grounds Do I Have For Belief in God? On What Principle Do I Judge Things Right or Wrong? When Should I Obey the Law? What Things Shall I Call Art? When Can I Say "I Know?" What Is Science? Positivism to Post-Modernism. Applied Ethics (medical ethics, business ethics, environmental ethics). Making Sense Out Of Life (a multi-cultural perspective). For anyone interested in modern philosophy.

Editorial Reviews
From the Publisher
This well-known introductory anthology was the first to intersperse primary sources with commentary to keep students interested and critically engaged in what they are reading. The overall structure of the text further adds to its student appeal. Each chapter deals with a fundamental question about human existence, exploring the subject through representative readings by classic, modern, and contemporary philosophers. At least two contrasting perspectives elucidate each main position. In this latest edition, that debate has been expanded with many new voices and ideas.

Dated!,
By Tofus Mom "retail therapy patient" (Boston, MA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Introduction to Modern Philosophy: Examining the Human Condition (Hardcover)
I don't know if I received the wrong version from the seller or what but this is a 2nd edition copy rather than 7th. The language and information is very dated.

Right book, wrong condition description,
By LMB "Christmas Nut" (Houston, TX) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Introduction to Modern Philosophy: Examining the Human Condition (7th Edition) (Paperback)
Description said book was in very good condition. I would say it was really just good.
Very good, like new should be no bends in the cover or crushed corners. Packaging was too small and flimsy, so perhaps it was in better condition before being mailed.

This review is from: Introduction to Modern Philosophy: Examining the Human Condition (7th Edition) (Paperback)
Overall the book is very easy to follow if you are new to Philosophy world. I recommend this book to those getting into philosophy or if you just want a good overview of philosophy without getting lost in the literature. Philosophers are presented in chronological order: it starts with Socrates and ends in the present.
