This textbook uses a dialog format to introduce undergraduates to the traditional questions of philosophy. So that students may understand and appreciate all sides of these issues, characters in each dialog advocate for different answers, with no clear winners identified. Seven chapters focus on questions in such areas as religion, ethics, determinism, and knowledge. Martin teaches philosophy at Dalhousie U. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
