Philosophical Propositions Summary

Philosophical Propositions: An Introduction to Philosophy by Jonathan Westphal

Philosophical Propositions is a fresh, up to date, and reliable introduction to philosophical problems. It takes seriously the need for philosophy to deal with definitive and statable propositions, such as God, certainty, time, personal identity, the mind/body problem, free will and determinism, and the meaning of life.

Philosophical Propositions Reviews

"Teachers and students interested in resolving philosophical puzzles by means of analysis will benefit much from this rigorous, clearly written text."
-Paul K. Moser, Loyola University of Chicago
""Philosophical Propositions is refreshingly free of the routine jog through the range of philosophical points of view. Jonathan Westphal takes students carefully through philosophical problems in a communicative and committed way."
-John Shand, The Open University
