Publisher's Synopsis
The book is an introduction to philosophy, focusing upon some of the primary topics of philosophy: Logic, Epistemology, Metaphysics, Ethics, Religion, Political Philosophy and Art. The book focuses upon the primary "Questions" as related to subtopics including: The Question of Knowledge, The Question of Ultimately Reality, The Question of Right and Wrong, The Question of Government, and The Question of Beauty. Questions: A Philosophical Primer strives to be educational as well as practical, being driven by the question of "what difference does the philosophical study of these areas make?" or "why is the study of these areas beneficial?" Thus, the work's focus is not on the question of right or wrong in belief or approach to these topics, but on the practical benefit of the consideration of these topics.
