James Rachels and Stuart Rachels

Problems from Philosophy is an introduction


to philosophy which is organized around the
great philosophical problemsthe 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 of the book are about whether
objective knowledge is possible in science
and ethics. Each chapter is self-contained
and may be read independently of the
others. Problems from Philosophy represents
the final work of author and philosopher
James Rachels. In it, he brings the same
liveliness and clarity to the introduction
of philosophy that he brings to his bestselling ethics text, The Elements of Moral
Philosophy. The second and third edition
have been revised by Rachels son Stuart,
who carefully has carefully refined his
fathers work to further strengthen its clarity
and accessibility.
