Abstract

A text book designed for a course in philosophy which is both introductory and terminal. Seeking to present philosophy not as a subject to be learned but as a task to be pursued, it presents short extracts from philosophers major and minor, arranged around topics "fundamental in a philosophy of life." On each topic are presented two conflicting solutions of the same problem. A capable instructor will be able to utilize these readings to advantage.--L. K. B.
