Experiencing Philosophy encourages active reading and self-reflection, offering a vibrant mix of overviews, exercises, and primary source readings.

Back Jacket

Experiencing Philosophy begins with the assumption that philosophy is not merely something you know but also something you experience and participate in. The book presents philosophical theories and ideas with reference to their practical relevance to the lives of student readers. To this end, a number of engaging features and inserts are provided:

  • - Original Sources Numerous primary readings are included, introducing students directly to the philosophical work of diverse thinkers ranging from Plato to Martin Luther King Jr. Each reading is thoughtfully excerpted and followed by reflective questions.
  • - Philosopher Profiles Abstract ideas are connected to the lives of real historical figures through fascinating biographical profiles.
  • - Take It Personally To illustrate how philosophy can be useful and relevant, each chapter begins by placing the material in a personal context.
  • - Know Thyself Diagnostics This book takes seriously--as did Socrates--the Delphic Oracle's dictum to "know thyself." Students are given self-diagnostics to explore their own philosophical values, ideals, and beliefs.
  • - Philosophers in Action Philosophy is something you do, not just something you know. Prompts are provided throughout the text inviting students to conduct thought experiments, analyze concepts, and discuss and debate controversial points.
  • - Thinking about Your Thinking These metacognitive prompts require students to engage in higher-order thinking, not only about the presented readings and ideas but also with respect to their own values, assumptions, and beliefs.
  • - Plus Built-in study guides, diagrams, famous philosophical quotations, comics, feature boxes, and more!
