This series presents an up-to-date set of engrossing, accurate, and
lively introductions to all the core areas of philosophy. Each volume
is written by an enthusiastic and knowledgeable teacher of the area
in question. Care has been taken to produce works that while evenhanded
are not mere bland expositions, and as such are original pieces
of philosophy in their own right. The reader should not only be well
informed by the series, but also experience the intellectual excitement
of being engaged in philosophical debate itself. The volumes serve as
an essential basis for the undergraduate courses to which they relate,
as well as being accessible and absorbing for the general reader.
Together they comprise an indispensable library of living philosophy
