Philosophical Problems: An Annotated Anthology
Second Edition
Laurence BonJour
Ann Baker
Edited and assembled by one of philosophy's foremost scholars, in collaboration with a distinguished teacher, this introductory anthology offers both classic and contemporary primary source readings and schools students in developing distinctly philosophical habits of mind.
In addition to the fine selection of primary source readings, this anthology offers a unique array of pedagogical features that, together, form a “roadmap” for thinking philosophically. These features begin with an introductory essay, followed by chapter introductions and annotations that accompany the readings, and conclude with discussion questions and an appendix on writing about philosophy.
New Features to the Second Edition
- Annotations now appear in the margins of the text, and are clearly distinguished and classified into several categories according to their purpose, including: stop-and-think, definition/concept, and outside comment from the text’s editors.
- A chapter-ending feature–Concluding Dialogue–picks up where the outside comment annotations leave off. Each presents a dialogue between the editors of the book, summarizing the primary concepts in the chapter, modeling philosophical thinking, and demonstrating the dialectical nature of philosophical inquiry.
- The chapter and selection introductions, annotations, and discussion questions have all been thoroughly reconsidered and substantially revised, and readings have been replaced or re-edited to create manageable yet comprehensive reading assignments.
- A larger trim size and a two color design present a clearer, more student-friendly and accessible layout.
New Readings to the Second Edition
- Sextus Empiricus: From Outlines of Pyrrhonism
- Harry Frankfurt: Freedom of the Will and the Concept of a Person
- Robert Kane: Free Will and Modern Science, from A Contemporary Introduction to Free Will
- Peter Singer: Famine, Affluence, and Morality
- Rosalind Hursthouse: Virtue Theory and Abortion
- St. Anselm: The Ontological Argument, from Proslogion

5.0 out of 5 stars
Best survey of Western Philosophy ever!,
By Philosophy Buff (California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Philosophical Problems: An Annotated Anthology, Reprint (2nd Edition) (Paperback)
Baker and Bonjour lead you step-by-step through a survey of western-tradition analytical philosophy, full of humor and insight, excellent primary sources, and unbelievably lucid commentary. Their method is very accessible, and even a raw beginner can quickly find him/herself immersed in philosophical inquiry without feeling lost. They take a topic the average American finds very esoteric, and show not only how relevant it is, but how anyone can do it. An excellent choice for someone who wants to get a grip on philosophy but feels daunted by traditional approaches, or wants to learn on their own.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Philosophical Problems: An Annotated Anthology (2nd Edition) (Paperback)
So the product was listed as new, which upon inspection it wasn't b/c there was a tiny bit of usage shown on the edges of the cover of the book. Other than that though, it was clearly in excellent conditions as there wasn't anything bent or written on anywhere so overall I was still content with my purchase. :)
