Working from this premise, \u003cem\u003eGreat Philosophical Arguments: An Introduction to Philosophy\u003c\/em\u003e focuses on the debates that define and drive the field. Editor Lewis Vaughn presents seventy-eight readings--both classic selections and contemporary works--that are topically organized into six chapters: the existence of God, knowledge and skepticism, mind and body, free will and determinism, ethics, and contemporary ethical debates. The readings are grouped by argument into pro\/con dialogues within each chapter. Each of the thirty-four arguments is introduced with a brief outline, which is followed by two to four essays presenting the classic statement of the argument, critiques and defenses of it, and discussions of related debates. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFEATURES: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e* A substantial introductory chapter and extensive chapter introductions\u003cbr\u003e* Essay questions at the end of each argument section and chapter\u003cbr\u003e* Pedagogical features including boldfaced key terms, biographical text boxes, suggestions for further reading, and a glossary\u003cbr\u003e* An appendix on how to read and write argumentative essays\u003cbr\u003e* An \u003cstrong\u003eInstructor's Manual and Test Bank on CD\u003c\/strong\u003e featuring chapter summaries, reading summaries, PowerPoint-based lecture outlines, and test questions\u003cbr\u003e* A \u003cstrong\u003eCompanion Website at www.oup.com\/us\/vaughn\u003c\/strong\u003e containing study questions, interactive quizzes, flashcards, and helpful links\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-352622\"\u003eLewis Vaughn\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/11\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 682\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 7.40w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780195342604\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0195342607\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-PHI\"\u003ePhilosophy\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-PHI000000\"\u003eGeneral\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLewis Vaughn\u003c\/strong\u003e is the author or coauthor of numerous books, including \u003cem\u003ePhilosophy: The Quest for Truth, \u003c\/em\u003e Eighth Edition (2011), \u003cem\u003eClassics of Philosophy, \u003c\/em\u003e Third Edition (2010), \u003cem\u003eContemporary Moral Arguments\u003c\/em\u003e (2010), \u003cem\u003eThe Power of Critical Thinking, \u003c\/em\u003e Third Edition (2009), \u003cem\u003eBioethics\u003c\/em\u003e (2008), and \u003cem\u003eWriting Philosophy\u003c\/em\u003e (2005), all published by Oxford University Press.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press, USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44686260895981,"sku":"9780195342604","price":274.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_7d0b638b-0f76-47ab-958b-e44cd8270a9b.jpg?v=1703640209","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/great-philosophical-arguments-an-introduction-to-philosophy-9780195342604","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
