The best way to understand philosophy is not to get bogged down in analyzing its definition, but by doing it—that is, by philosophizing.
Engaging in the very same activities that its practitioners engage in will quickly immerse the student in the discipline. Readings in Philosophy does exactly that by introducing the reader to the same perennial questions that have preoccupied philosophers throughout the ages. It invites the reader to participate in an ongoing dialog that started with Socrates and continues to the present day.
Delivered in an affordable and interactive online format, Readings in Philosophy embeds videos, discussion boards, specific philosophical problems, and presents some of the responses that philosophers have proffered to make sense of it.
