Philosophy: Sources, Perspectives, and Methodologies

Philosophy: Sources, Perspectives, and Methodologies serves as a primer to the study of philosophy. By employing literature, film, art, history, and other disciplines, the twenty-seven thematic chapters identify areas of critical thought and practice in the philosophical study. They begin with the nature of philosophy, segue into epistemology and non-Western traditions, explore various interdisciplinary methods, and conclude with introductions to the subfields covered in the succeeding nine volumes in the series. Chapters are written by eminent scholars, are peer reviewed, and offer bibliographies to encourage further exploration. The volume concludes with a glossary and a comprehensive index.
