This seventh edition of The Study of Philosophy presents a comprehensive treatment of the major fields and figures of philosophy alongside primary readings by seminal thinkers to fuel debate and further study.

New features of this edition include
  • a substantive account of philosophical theology
  • a reorganized treatment of early modern rationalism and empiricism
  • discussion of the major highlights of twentieth- and twenty-first-century philosophy
  • a survey of major contemporary moral problems

From Plato to Plantinga, from Aristotle to Ayer, and from Socrates to Singer, this text brings the power of both ancient and modern philosophy to students of the twenty-first century!
Maintaining superb readability, the seventh edition adds key ingredients: more contemporary philosophy, impressive selections of primary sources, and excellent choices of additions within the chapters. There is much to commend in this newest edition.
