What's New
New readings by Nussbaum, Armstrong, Russell, and Shulman add to the discussions of Virtue, the mind and identity, knowledge, and ways of exploring philosophical problems.
"In the Courts" and "In the News" boxes in each chapter show how legal decisions and current events inform and are influenced by philosophical thinking, providing students with additional examples of philosophy at work in the world around them.
"Internet Inquiries" at the end of each section suggest internet searches students can perform to explore various issues raised by the material in that section
"Reading Questions" now accompany each of the readings, helping students to better identify and evaluate key points in the selection.
New material on intelligent design, theories of punishment, evolutionary ethics, capability theory, the narrative view of the self, mystical experience, and neuroethics reflects contemporary developments in these fields and expands the text's discussions of evil and the existence of God; free will and determinism; and relativism and morality.
An updated Online Learning Center includes a wealth of additional study and teaching resources including true/false, multiple choice, and essay quizzes; chapter objectives; chapter glossaries; thought probes; an instructor's manual; PowerPoint presentations; and a test bank.
