'Exploring Philosophy's strength lies in the comprehensiveness, diversity, and relevance of its reading selections, which are pitched at the right level and are of manageable length for an introductory course. And price is very important; I see it as a huge selling point that this book is cheaper than the competition.' Norbert's College'As far as anthologies go, Exploring Philosophy is easily the best one that I've seen. It is a student-centric anthology that prioritizes clarity and comprehensibility yet still manages to cover a wide range of topics. I was very impressed by the price, which is also consistent with the student-centered aims of the book.' -Brent Franklin, Rowan College at Burlington County'I recommended Exploring Philosophy to a colleague who wanted to cover more women authors in her introductory course. It has a great price, covers all the topics that one might want to teach, and features short and accessible chapters.'
-Justin Garson, Hunter College'Exploring Philosophy is an excellent textbook for a survey philosophy course. It includes essential essays on basic philosophical themes from both historical and modern perspectives. The fantastic introductions briefly cover key dates and context so that students are oriented yet still challenged to read the essays for an understanding of the arguments.' -Carol Enns, College of the Sequoias Read more.
