Author: Lewis Vaughn

 This second edition of Living Philosophy-like the first-is designed to guide students in a survey of the historical march of philosophical ideas, encouraging an appreciation of the significance of these ideas in Western and Eastern thought. Living Philosophy provides this guidance in five fundamental ways: it tells a coherent story of philo-sophical thought from the pre-Socratics to the present; it provides the cultural and intellectual background for this story; it explains why the major issues and arguments are important and relevant today; it includes substantial, well-chosen excerpts from the philosophers’ works; and it presents all these elements in a way that engages and stimulates student interest and understanding.
To foster a serious understanding of philosophy, Living Philosophy includes solid coverage of critical-thinking skills and argument basics as well as practice in read-ing philosophical works. Students learn how to do philosophy to think and write philosophically when they get encouragement and practice in analyzing and cri-tiquing their own views as well as those philosophers they study. To this end, Living Philosophy emphasizes philosophical writing, reinforced with step-by-step coaching in how to write argumentative essays on philosophical topics and supported by mul-tiple opportunities to hone basic skills.
In addition to these core elements, Living Philosophy further engages today’s learners with abundant illustrations and graphics; marginal glosses, questions, and quotations; profiles of a diverse array of philosophers; and ample representation of non-Western and nontraditional sources and voices.
