Reviews

"Reading Philosophy is an excellent introduction to
philosophy, especially as it is practiced in the analytic
tradition. I know of no other text which introduces students to the
practice of philosophy as this one does." Roger P. Ebertz,
University of Dubuque

"The book is very well done, with an attractive combination of
breadth and depth. Too often, introductory textbooks are
comprehensive at the cost of serious attention to important
specifics. This book helps the introductory student get down to the
careful work of doing philosophy." David Sosa, University
of Texas at Austin




"Reading Philosophy is useful and rewarding, and a
natural for the philosophy shelves of any academic or academic's
collection." Reference Reviews, 2003
