For undergraduate introductory courses in Philosophy.

A proven classic, this collection of classic and contemporary readings stimulates students' interest in philosophy through an innovative and appropriate “sides of the argument” presentation, representing positions on each of the fundamental philosophical principles. Using debate and argument as a vehicle, the eleventh edition of Classic Philosophical Questions simultaneously teaches students the fundamentals of philosophy while demonstrating that philosophy is a discourse that has spanned centuries.

From the Back Cover:

First published over thirty years ago, Classic Philosophical Questions has presented decades of students with the most compelling classic and contemporary readings on the most enduring and abiding questions in philosophy. The anthology, topically arranged, uses debate and argument as vehicles to teach students the fundamentals of philosophy while also demonstrating that philosophy is a discourse spanning centuries. James A. Gould and Robert J. Mulvaney continue to provide students with interesting, intriguing essays from major philosophers in a distinctive presentation, often involving a pro/con format, to ensure that both the apparent and subtle points of argument are both meaningful and clear.

Features of this new edition:

• Sections on epistemology and metaphysics introduced earlier in this edition
• New readings from Martha Nussbaum and Martin Luther King, Jr.
• Concise, student-friendly introductions to each philosopher and reading
• Helpful study and reflection questions focus students' reading and improve comprehension
