The Path of Philosophy: Truth, Wonder, and Distress

The Path of Philosophy introduces college students to the study of philosophy through a compelling narrative in which the world’s most important philosophers appear as characters. Framed by the concept of Wondrous Distress, the text traces the history of western philosophy from its beginnings in ancient Greece to contemporary developments in the modern world. Threads running through the text demonstrate how philosophy is unique and distinct from religion and science, while at the same time showing how all three disciplines are interrelated. Exceptionally well written, and unusual in its cohesiveness, the text leaves readers with a vivid picture of philosophy as a unique and important field of study.Important Notice: Media content referenced within the product description or the product text may not be available in the ebook version.Additional ISBNs: 1133381448, 9781133381440, 9781111561420The Path of Philosophy: Truth, Wonder, and Distress 1st Edition is written by John Marmysz and published by Cengage Learning.
