Pełny opis

The world's best introduction to philosophy, Knowledge, Reality, and Value explains basic philosophical problems in epistemology, metaphysics, and ethics, such as: How can we know about the world outside our minds? Is there a God? Do we have free will? Are there objective values? What distinguishes morally right from morally wrong actions? The text succinctly explains the most important theories and arguments about these things, and it does so a lot less boringly than most books written by professors.

"My work is all a series of footnotes to Mike Huemer." -Plato
"This book is way better than my lecture notes." -Aristotle
"When I have a little money, I buy Mike Huemer's books; and if I have any left, I buy food and clothes." -Erasmus
