How to Think Philosophically

Philosophy

“Professor Hall's work is not just an introduction or guide to philosophy as an academic discipline, but an excellent guide to how to live philosophically. Bringing in ancient Greek philosophy (particularly Plato) and Buddhist philosophy (sticking close to the Buddha himself) also provides a multicultural richness not generally found in such a concise introductory text. Highly recommended for students but really for anyone interested in some of the ways that philosophy can help us live intellectually richer, morally better, and generally more fulfilling lives.”

Spiritual Resurgence

World Religions

“With Spiritual Resurgence, Terry D. Shoemaker has provided us with an important and compelling contribution to the study of spirituality (including the Spiritual but Not Religious) in the United States today. Drawing upon an impressive array of interdisciplinary resources, Shoemaker argues for the distinctiveness of the current spiritual resurgence--deftly weaving the phenomenon into the broader fabric of the politics, economics, and culture of the Information Age. In the process, he problematizes the secularization thesis and provides insights into our religious/spiritual moment. In this book, Shoemaker certainly has advanced our understanding of American religion and spirituality. It very much deserves our attention and reflection.”
