Engage students with philosophy’s timeless questions—and today’s most pressing issues.
The Norton Introduction to Philosophy returns in a Third Edition, offering an orientation to the discipline that remains unmatched in scope, breadth, and quality. With an expanded selection of readings, more extensive background notes, and engaging reading guides, the Third Edition is designed to resonate with today’s students and spark their interest in philosophy.
New essays from contemporary thinkers connect classic philosophical topics—including metaphysics, epistemology, morality, justice, race, and gender—to real-world issues. Available as an affordable, engaging Norton Ebook, this anthology makes philosophy accessible, sharpening students’ critical thinking skills while providing instructors with robust teaching support.
Highlights of the Third Edition’s new content:
- Exclusive commissioned essays from leading philosophers present topics instructors told us they want to teach, at a level suitable for undergraduates. Contributors include Michael Patrick Lynch on the value of truth, Ned Hall on causation versus correlation, Alex Byrne on other minds and artificial intelligence, Jonathan Birch on animal consciousness, Ted Sider on material constitution, Gideon Rosen on ignorance and responsibility, David Wong on relativism, Robert P. George on public morality, and Seana Shiffrin on freedom of speech.
- New reading selections include David Chalmers on the simulation hypothesis, Hedda Hassel Mørch on panpsychism, Duncan Pritchard on the value of knowledge, Nick Zangwill on the morality of eating meat, and C. A. J. Coady on testimony and observation.
- New Chapter 14, “When Are We Morally Responsible for What We Do?”, introduces students to leading voices exploring the relationship between morality and ignorance, including Angela Smith, Nomy Arpaly, Michele Moody-Adams, and editor Gideon Rosen.
- New and updated Reader’s Guides accompany 18 of the most challenging selections, providing clear, accessible support to help students engage more deeply with the readings.
- Enhanced pedagogy includes revised and updated chapter introductions, reading guides, and instructor resources.
