Media Reviews

Maintaining superb readability, the seventh edition adds key ingredients: more contemporary philosophy, impressive selections of primary sources, and excellent choices of additions within the chapters. There is much to commend in this newest edition. -- Dominic Prianti, Gannon University
The seventh edition of The Study of Philosophy is a great new version. In addition to offering a new chapter on contemporary moral problems, the authors have revised their work on logic, metaphysics, and the philosophy of religion. Lively and engaging, The Study of Philosophy should remain an important resource for every undergraduate. -- William P. Haggerty, Gannon University
The new edition of The Study of Philosophy retains the impressive coverage of topics of earlier editions-along with the excellent chapters on logic (including a superb treatment of the informal fallacies), and the student-friendly narrative-and adds many new, well-chosen topical readings, and a whole chapter on contemporary moral problems. The best introductory philosophy textbook on the market just got better! -- Michael Latzer, Gannon University
