Being Philosophical An Introduction to Philosophy and Its Methods

"Stephen Hetherington has drawn on his broad excellence as philosopher and editor to compose a distinctive introduction to the vast, variegated world of philosophy. He guides us around that world with snippet visits to his more than 80 ports of call. It is his evident intention to glory in the vast geographical breadth and historical length of the discipline. And he succeeds delightfully in that attempt."
Ernest Sosa, Rutgers University
 
"Being Philosophical is a banquet for the critical mind! Hetherington offers a commendable spread of fascinating philosophical ideas from different traditions. And he doesn't just tell us what philosophy is; in clear, simple language, he shows us how and why it is so enjoyable."
Karyn Lai, University of New South Wales
