Philosophical Propositions; An Introduction to Philosophy provides a fresh and lucid introduction to key philosophical problems in a classic style. Designed for students coming to philosophy for the first time, Jonathan Westphal introduces students to the key problems in philosophy, encouraging them to work through those problems themselves. Each chapter considers a key philosophical problem. These problems are LThe Nature of a Philosophical Problem L Basic Concepts of Logic and Philosophy L The Problem of Evil L The Existence of God L Reality L Certainty L Time L Personal Identity L The Mind-Body Problem L Freewill and Determinism L The Meaning of Life? L By asking students to consider key philosphical questions such as 'are people free?', 'can God's existence be proved?' and 'how is the mind related to the body', Philosophical Propositions provides a firm grounding in essential philosphical problems for students at any level.
