"Probably the best text I've used. Strengths are clarity of writing, logical and intuitive outline, and quality of exemplary texts for each subject. The writing is excellent and very engaging indeed for any intro course. . . . While no text is perfect, Vaughn's latest edition is a work of extraordinary craft, and is in my opinion the standard by which all introductory philosophy texts should now be measured. Lucid, concise, logical in flow and progression, andabove all relevant, it overflows with readings that are vast in scope yet accessible and engaging to students and lay readers alike. The academic world could do with more books of this quality. Irecommend it heartily." Daniel Bramer, Holy Family University"I would rate Vaughn's text as superior quality for an introductory-level philosophy course. In an increasing number of college courses, students have minimal to no exposure to primary sources. In a philosophy course I believe it is vital for students to experience the actual writings of great thinkers. Vaughn's inclusion of primary source writings takes the student into the mind of each philosopher, which heightens the excitement of studying philosophy. Thistext introduces students to the discipline of philosophy in a style that clearly written and digestible, and unlike many other textbooks, it is reasonably priced." Marcia J. Andrejevich, Ivy Tech Community College, South BendThis is an excellent text. The most significant general strength is its emphasis on philosophy as a living discipline dealing with questions that are important and continue to resonate with humans, rather than being a historical artifact full of theories that answer questions that no one currently cares about. It is not merely that the book is arranged topically rather than historically, but that the auxiliary material like the boxed text and sidebars and theexcerpts from fiction at the end of each chapter all work together to convey this message. Vaughn's style also contributes to getting this message across.. . . There are no significant weaknesses. Thereare parts of the text that I do not use, but that is largely based on my own judgment call concerning what needs to be covered in a semester long introductory philosophy class." Mark A Michael, Austin Peay State University"On the whole, this text is a strong text and has been helpful in the past for my students to have a good idea of what philosophy is all about, how to examine ideas, and to see their relevance to everyday life. I have found it to be on the whole, an excellent tool upon which to lean to teach this course that can be used on its own or as a supplement to an anthology of readings in philosophy." Erik Hanson, University of Colorado, Colorado Springs, "Probably the best text I've used. Strengths are clarity of writing, logical and intuitive outline, and quality of exemplary texts for each subject. The writing is excellent and very engaging indeed for any intro course. . . . While no text is perfect, Vaughn's latest edition is a work ofextraordinary craft, and is in my opinion the standard by which all introductory philosophy texts should now be measured. Lucid, concise, logical in flow and progression, and above all relevant, it overflows with readings that are vast in scope yet accessible and engaging to students and lay readersalike.
