Reviews
"Philosophy: The Quest for Truth is simply superb. It is clearly one of the best--if not the best--introductory philosophy texts available today. Its greatest strengths are its clarity, its commitment to conveying the relevance of philosophy, its logic excursus, and its comprehensiveness. Pojman was, and Vaughn is, a master at accessible, clear, engaging writing for introductory students. And the pedagogical features are superb."--Mark Piper, James Madison University"This is an impressive collection of the most relevant readings one might hope for in conducting an introductory course. Students fearful of philosophy will have their prejudice ruptured upon seeing the relevant and enjoyable topics covered in this anthology. The book doesn't just speak the language of philosophy, it speaks the language of students. What a nice pairing!"--Shandon L.
