{"product_id":"9780195342604","title":"Great Philosophical Arguments: An Introduction to Philosophy","description":"\u003cp\u003eA great deal of the satisfaction of studying philosophy lies in exploring its landmark arguments. Working from this premise, Great Philosophical Arguments: An Introduction to Philosophy focuses on the debates that define and drive the field. Editor Lewis Vaughn presents seventy-eight readings—both classic selections and contemporary works—that are topically organized into six chapters: the existence of God, knowledge and skepticism, mind and body, free will and determinism, ethics, and contemporary ethical debates. The readings are grouped by argument into pro\/con dialogues within each chapter. Each of the thirty-four arguments is introduced with a brief outline, which is followed by two to four essays presenting the classic statement of the argument, critiques and defenses of it, and discussions of related debates.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFEATURES: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e* A substantial introductory chapter and extensive chapter introductions\u003cbr\u003e* Essay questions at the end of each argument section and chapter\u003cbr\u003e* Pedagogical features including boldfaced key terms, biographical text boxes, suggestions for further reading, and a glossary\u003cbr\u003e* An appendix on how to read and write argumentative essays\u003cbr\u003e* An Instructor's Manual and Test Bank on CD featuring chapter summaries, reading summaries, PowerPoint-based lecture outlines, and test questions\u003cbr\u003e* A Companion Website at www.oup.com\/us\/vaughn containing study questions, interactive quizzes, flashcards, and helpful links\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press, USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47049012314352,"sku":"9780195342604","price":96.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780195342604_p0.jpg?v=1763664308","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780195342604","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
