Problems from Philosophy is an introductory text organized around the
great philosophical problems―the existence of God, the nature of the
mind, human freedom, the limits of knowledge, and the truth about
ethics. It begins by reflecting on the life of the first great
philosopher, Socrates. Then it takes up the fundamental question of
whether God exists. Next comes a discussion of death and the soul,
which leads to a chapter about persons. The later chapters consider
whether objective knowledge is possible in science and ethics.
Problems from Philosophy represents the final work of philosopher
James Rachels. In it, he brings the same liveliness and clarity to the
introduction of philosophy present in his many other best-selling
texts. Problems from Philosophy has been revised by James Rachels’
son Stuart, who has carefully refined his father’s work to further
strengthen its clarity and accessibility. The fourth edition features
revisions on discussions of free will, artificial intelligence,
idealism, and Kantian ethics.
