This book offers an introduction to the major topics and fields of philosophy. While topically organized, presentations also reveal the historical development of philosophical ideas and figures. Primary source readings are woven into text discussions. New to the third edition are a philosophical dictionary, a timeline/map, and expanded coverage of Eastern philosophy and women.

From the Publisher
Multicultural material has been added.
The second edition is 8% shorter than the previous edition and 27% shorter than its 1996 hardcover, fourth edition parent text.
This traditional introduction to the issues, problems, perspectives, and personalities of Western philosophy is organized around four easily-recognizable "Questions": Reality, Knowledge, God, and Morality.
Constant attention is paid to the interconnection of ideas and their development with primary materials interwoven into the ongoing discussion, always providing for the expression, sometimes short, sometimes long, of the actual philosopher on the subject at hand.
Boxed features cover philosopher biographies, key definitions, summaries, primary source selections, and extended example stories.
