Cengage Advantage Series: Voyage of Discovery: A Historical Introduction to Philosophy 4th Edition

Highly praised for its clarity and rich exposition, this history of philosophy text illustrates philosophy as a process and not just a collection of opinions or conclusions. Rather than simply reporting the positions of a given philosopher, Lawhead’s prose assists students in retracing the thinker’s intellectual journey. Students are invited to engage with each philosopher’s intellectual process, drawing connections with their own lives and cultures. Metaphors, analogies, vivid images, concrete examples, common experiences, and diagrams demonstrate the concrete relevance of abstract arguments and their practical implications for contemporary society. This fourth edition of VOYAGE OF DISCOVERY: A HISTORICAL INTRODUCTION TO PHILOSOPHY features new historical profiles and/or works representing such philosophers as Plato, St. Thomas Aquinas, Simone de Beauvoir, and Martha Nussbaum, among others. Cengage Advantage Series: Voyage of Discovery: A Historical Introduction to Philosophy 4th Edition is written by William F. Lawhead and published by Cengage Learning.
