Cover of Stephen Hetherington: Being Philosophical (ePUB)

Being Philosophical guides readers through the perplexing initial moments of meeting philosophy by taking them inside philosophical thinking as an activity. In a beginner-friendly voice, Stephen Hetherington elucidates how intellectual tools from a diversity of traditions, East and West, can enable us to start doing philosophy that is, to think from scratch in a philosophical way. He explores many classical topics and issues that have preoccupied philosophers from Plato, early Buddhists and Confucius to Karl Marx and beyond selves, souls, identity, will, knowing and reasoning, acting morally, and more and presents possible methods for responding to different theories. Inviting and conversational, Being Philosophical is the book needed by every new philosophy student or anyone wondering whether they might want to explore the world of philosophy.
