Description


Designed for students in Christian colleges and seminaries, An Introduction to Philosophy surveys the four main areas of philosophy - logic, metaphysics, epistemology, and ethics - in an accessible and engaging manner. Yet, it also covers important topics sometimes left unaddressed in introductions, including:

  • why philosophy matters in our day
  • critical thinking and intellectual virtue
  • a brief history of philosophy
  • philosophical hermeneutics
  • the relationship between philosophy, faith, and worldview
  • religious epistemology
  • bioethics, sexual ethics, other types of ethics
  • a Christian philosophy of life

Grounded in the Christian intellectual tradition, each chapter in An Introduction to Philosophy includes student-friendly features such as chapter summaries, explanatory sidebars, reflection questions, vocabulary words and definitions, and suggestions for further reading. Professors and students will find it to be a broad and useful overview, perfect for undergraduate and seminary students alike.
