Gutek Allyn & Bacon, 1996 Conceptions of Education Gerald Gutek's review of philosophies, ideologies, and theories of education is an impressive overview of perspectives on education. The book begins with a description of major philosophical positions, including Idealism, Realism, Thomism, Naturalism, Pragmatism, Existentialism, and Philosophical Analysis. In addition to providing a brief history of these perspectives, the author offers a useful ...             Philosophical Foundations of Education (8th Edition)2 reviews Howard A. Ozmon, Samuel M. Craver Prentice Hall, 2007 Excellent basic text for undergraduate ed/phil courses. I teach an entry-level undergraduate course in educational philosophy. My first year students needed a basic text to structure the course, yet it was important to me that the students read WHAT the philosphers had to say rather than just reading ABOUT them. This volume enables the students to do just that -- it contains primary source material in the form of selected essays by leading ...             Philosophical Foundations for a Christian Worldview26 reviews J. P. Moreland, William Lane Craig InterVarsity Press, 2003 Six stars, a one of a kind masterpiece This book is an excellent introduction to philosophy from a Christian perspective by two of the world's leading evangelical philosophers. This textbook covers everything from epistemology to metaphysics to philosophy of science to ethics to philosophy of religion. Craig and Moreland divide it up according to their specialties: Craig does most of the epistemology and philosophy of religion (and ...             Philosophical Investigations (3rd Edition)26 reviews Ludwig Wittgenstein Prentice Hall, 1973 Learn from it but there is no need to worship it This is a book which at one time was worshipped. It was taken to be the holy text that gave the true answers to the philosophical puzzles that graduate students in philosophy were puzzling over. Wittgenstein was the hero and his manner of ' doing philosophy' of walking and holding his forehead, and waiting in silence and thinking for long stretches of time while puzzling it out was imitated by ...             Philosophical and Ideological Voices in Education Gerald L. Gutek Allyn & Bacon, 2003             Philosophical Investigations: The German Text, with a Revised English Translation 50th Anniversary ...12 reviews Ludwig Wittgenstein, G. E. M. Anscombe, ... Wiley-Blackwell, 1991 A fine book This is one of the greatest books I have ever read--and I've read quite a few books.             The Philosophical Journey: An Interactive Approach2 reviews William Lawhead McGraw-Hill Humanities/Social Sciences/Languages, 2008 hmmm takes your brain on a trip if you're not pressured into reading it...helps to have some interest in god and morals.             Classic Philosophical Questions (13th Edition)2 reviews James A. Gould, Robert J. Mulvaney Prentice Hall, 2008 Thought provoking, but difficult I had to read many of the readings from this book for my Intro to Ethics class. While it continued to stimulate my mind and make me think past what I had previously believed on many issues, I had to re-read many writings multiple times to even start to understand what was REALLY being talked about. However, when I did understand, it made the reading that much more interesting.             Philosophical Documents in Education (3rd Edition)1 review Tony W. Johnson, Ronald F. Reed Allyn & Bacon, 2007 Quick survey for educators This is a fine attempt at a survey of philosophical ideas behind Western educational systems. The editors have chosen a few exemplars of philosophers from ancient Greece through modern day constructivist American educational philosophers. Especially praiseworthy is the inclusion of women authors in the third version, although at the expense of such thinkers as Richard Rorty, Vygotsky, and ...             The Philosophical Writings of Descartes: Volume 2 Rene Descartes Cambridge University Press, 1985 These two volumes provide a completely new translation of the philosophical works of Descartes, based on the best available Latin and French texts. They are intended to replace the only reasonably comprehensive selection of his works in English, by Haldane and Ross, first published in 1911. All the works included in that edition are translated here, together with a number of additional texts crucial for an understanding of Cartesian philosophy, ...             Philosophical Explanations13 reviews Robert Nozick Belknap Press, 2006 The Meaning of Life - Page 1 I tend to agree with that great scientist Hans Eysenck when he said "all philosophers do is yak, yak, yak, but show them a fact and they fall on their face." Nozick is different. He doesn't provide many facts, but he deals directly with the subjects we want philosophy to tackle, including: Why do we exist? What is free will? What is an ethical life and why should we lead it? Of course, he ...             The Philosophical Theology of Jonathan Edwards2 reviews Sang Hyun Lee Princeton University Press, 2000 Essential to Understanding Jonathan Edwards Sang Hyun Lee's book is the essential text on Edwards's metaphysics. Not everyone thinks he is right (though I, like most mainstream Edwards scholars, think he is) but every knowledgable scholar realizes that the path to understanding Edwards's metaphysics lies through Lee's work and not around it. The book is densely and carefully written, and at least one graduate student has embarrassed ...             Philosophical Occasions 1912-19512 reviews Ludwig Wittgenstein, James Carl Klagge, ... Hacket Pub. Co., 1993 Important Collection This is an important collections of texts by Wittgenstein. For those interested in Wittgenstein and ethics, the lecture on ethics printed here may be significant. This book also contains Wittgenstein's remarks on Frazer's Golden Bough, which is important when one wants to understand Wittgenstein's views on religion and culture. However, the most important thing here is probably some remarks ...             Philosophical Fragments/Johannes Climacus : Kierkegaard's Writings, Vol 73 reviews Soren Kierkegaard Princeton University Press, 1985 One of Kierkegaard's most essential works If one were to read only two or three of Kierkegaard's works, this is unquestionably one of the ones to read. In this work and in its successor, Kierkegaard, employing the pseudonym of Johannes Climacus, seeks to explain the nature of Christianity in such as way as to bring out its demands on the individual, and to emphasize its incompatibility with the theology based on the work of Hegel that ...             Mysticism and Philosophical Analysis Oxford University Press, USA, 1978             The Philosophical Writings of Descartes: Volume 1 Rene Descartes Cambridge University Press, 1985 These two volumes provide a completely new translation of the philosophical works of Descartes, based on the best available Latin and French texts. They are intended to replace the only reasonably comprehensive selection of his works in English, by Haldane and Ross, first published in 1911.

Adams Wadsworth Publishing, 2004 Good book for understanding US Law and preparing Law School I am from South Korea and now living in Indiana, USA. This book has been very popular in my country because the book is very helpful for preparing for law schools, especially for LSAT reading part. This book made me not only get used to LSAT reading style but also understanding comprehensive US law system and philosophy based on it.             The Philosophers Toolkit: A Compendium of Philosophical Concepts and Methods7 reviews Julian Baggini, Peter Fosl Wiley-Blackwell, 2002 Excellent Introduction to Logic and Philosophy REVIEW: This book, while sometimes reading like a condensed encyclopedia, is an excellent resource for anyone interested in Philosophical thought and Logic. It is an excellent introduction as well as a reference book. And while the title and binding may detract from it's apparent academic credibility, I assure you it is there. The book covers several sections, beginning with basic ...             Philosophical Perspectives on Sex and Love Robert M. Stewart Oxford University Press, USA, 1995 Despite the centrality of sexuality and love to human life, western history's great philosophers have not produced anything like a detailed and systematic approach to these matters. From Plato's emphasis upon the importance of eros, to the insistence by today's feminists on gender equality, philosophy's interpretation of eroticism and love has been as diverse and explosive as the subject itself. It is this imposing variety of approach and ...             The Essential Peirce: Selected Philosophical Writings, 1893-1913 Charles S. Peirce Indiana University Press, 1998 This convenient two-volume reader's edition makes accessible to students and scholars the most important philosophical papers of the brilliant American thinker Charles Sanders Peirce. Volume 2 presents twenty-nine pivotal texts, beginning with "Immortality in the Light of Synechism", in which Peirce proposes synechism, the tendency to regard everything as continuous, as a key advance over the three popular 'isms' materialism, idealism, and ...              search for books 1893-1913, 1912-1951, anniversary, christian, climacus, commemorative, compendium, concepts, descartes, documents, education, essential, explanations, foundations, fragments, ideological, interactive, investigations, jonathan, kierkegaard, mysticism, occasions, perspectives, philosophers, philosophical, problems, questions, selected, translation, worldview books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
