Reviews
"A bold, lucid and convincing introduction to the practice of philosophy. Without relying on unnecessary jargon and technicalities, Trigg guides readers into central, profound areas of philosophical concern. Philosophy, for Trigg, is not some idle, merely academic undertaking; philosophy matters when we try to think seriously about values, our place in the cosmos and the power and limits of science. This is a superb volume." Charles Taliaferro , St. Olaf College Roger Trigg, in Philosophy Matters (2002), confronts and elucidates the vital philosophical issues that shape our lives today. Common sense, he argues, depends on the philosophy of previous generations. Trigg illustrates how philosophy is a practical tool for understanding science, reason, the laws of nature, relativism, Darwinism, the human brain and mind. Trigg is a professor of philosophy at the University of Warwick." Science and Theology News, June 2004 " The book's apparent simplicity easily belies its sophistication. Trigg's opening chapter cleverly sets the scenefor what follows as well as providing useful background on the emergence of Western philosophy.This is an excellent book."

Synopsis
Written for those who may be approaching the subject for the first time, Philosophy Matters shows that philosophy is crucial in questioning our presuppositions, and for helping us to establish our own beliefs about the nature of the world. Anyone with an interest in the underlying philosophical origins of popular notions about reality is encouraged to read this book. Asserting that all too often we take ideas for granted, it shows how even "common sense" depends on the philosophy of previous generations. Philosophy Matters takes on the task of confronting and elucidating the important philosophical issues that play their part in guiding our lives today. In the process, it also shows that philosophy is not a sterile intellectual pursuit, but a particularly relevant and practical tool to be used in gaining knowledge of ourselves and our place in the world., Written for those who may be approaching the subject for the first time, Philosophy Matters shows that philosophy is crucial in questioning our presuppositions, and for helping us to establish our own beliefs about the nature of the world., Accessible to general readers and a useful overview for beginning students. Offers a general survey of philosophy as well as a focused attack on materialism and relativism.

    Excellent packaging: the books were wrapped in two layers of thin white paper and placed inside a bubble wrap courier bag. Very fast overseas shipping: the order date was 17/10, and the parcel arrived on the 31st. Honest photos and descriptions. Recommended seller. 5 stars !

    Overall buying from here was a fantastic experience! The book arrived at my door in two days, during a flash flood advisory. It was packaged in a grey plastic mailer, secured with extra tape so that the item stayed nice and dry. The book itself is exactly as stated: a fresh new copy. No witting or highlighting, no library stickers. Just a clean, intact copy. This was much cheaper than if had I bought from a major bookstore, so all in all I’m very pleased with my purchase here! Would recommend.
