Roots of Wisdom by Helen Mitchell

Roots of Wisdom by Helen Mitchell

Mitchell's ROOTS OF WISDOM: A TAPESTRY OF PHILOSOPHICAL TRADITIONS, Eighth Edition, explores worldviews by examining universal and current philosophical issues through a rich tapestry of perspectives, including the ideas and traditions of men and women from the West, Asia, the Americas and Africa. Worldviews reveal core beliefs and determine who is and who is not a person, what an Ultimate Reality might be like and how to resolve the personal, political and social questions that shape ethical decision making. The text couples unrivaled breadth of multicultural coverage with a clear and concise presentation. Striking images from fine art, cartoons, poetry, movies, current events and popular music illustrate our diverse cultural inheritance. Lively discussions include the Confucian Socially Molded Self, issues of sovereignty and citizenship and the philosophical concept of personhood.

Helen Buss Mitchell, Ph.D. has been teaching Philosophy at Howard Community College in Columbia Maryland for 27 years. She is the author of Roots of Wisdom: a Tapestry of Philosophical Traditions and Readings from the Roots of Wisdom: A Multicultural Reader. She is also creator/writer/host of a 25-lesson telecourse in World Philosophy, For the Love of Wisdom." All of these projects grew from her interest in the worldviews of The Classical West, Asia, and Traditional Africa, especially how each sheds light on the others in classroom discussions."
