Philosophy by Jenny Teichman
This introduction to philosophy sets out to introduce the interested lay reader to the subject, and to provide the student or academic with a justification for studying it. The authors divide the subject into six fields - metaphysics, ethics, political philosophy, philosophy of science, logic and the philosophy of life. They begin with a definition of philosophy as the study of abstract, ultimate and general problems. They then guide the reader through several major philosphical topics such as existence, knowledge, freedom, God morality, politics, science, reason and human purpose.
JENNY TEICHMAN has been a Fellow of New Hall, the University of Cambridge, since 1968 and has also taught in North America and Australia. She is the author of The Mind and the Soul; Illegitimacy; Philosophy and the Mind; Pacifism and the Just War; Philosophy: a Beginner's Guide (with Katherine Evans); and Intention and Intentionality (with Core Diamond and others). GRAHAM WHITE is a Research Scholar who has held appointments in Germany (Marburg), England (Cambridge), Egypt (Cairo) and Liechtenstein.
