Description
Doing Philosophy provides a practical guide to studying philosophy for undergraduate students. It presents strategies for developing the necessary skills that will allow students to get the most out of this fascinating subject.
The book examines what it means to think, read, discuss and write philosophically, giving advice on topics such as reading and analysing philosophical texts, preparing for and participating in seminars, and constructing arguments. It also covers technical terms, forms of expression, and logical notation.
With its concise and accessible approach, Doing Philosophy equips the student with the tools needed to successfully engage in discussing, reading and writing philosophy. The second edition is fully revised and expanded throughout, packed with practical exercises, useful examples and fully up-to-date resources.
