Description
Academic philosophy can be puzzling to newcomers. The conventions, terms, and expectations entrenched among philosophers arent always clear from the outside.
Why are philosophers so preoccupied with finding the truth-doesnt everyone have their own philosophy?
Is philosophy so deep and difficult that its literature has to be incomprehensible?
What kinds of arguments can there be for a philosophical position?
Where does the evidence come from? Why is there so much jargon-wouldnt it be better to do away with it altogether?
Best-selling author and retired philosophy professor Robert Martin answers these questions and many more, offering a practical guide to arguing and writing philosophically.
Anecdotes, jokes, asides, digressions, oddments, and entertainments are included throughout, resulting in an informal introduction that doesnt shy away from the nuts and bolts of philosophical argument.
