An Introduction to Philosophy

Philosophy

“For those who love wisdom, philosophy bears tremendous potential for making sense of knowledge, reality, and meaning. Yet philosophy as a discipline can seem inaccessible and irrelevant for those who have just begun to think deeply about the nature of the world and their place in it. By contrast, An Introduction to Philosophy by Drs. Sherman, Holland, Osmundsen, and Rasor rewards the reader with access to the discipline and a compelling case for the relevance of philosophy “to the things that really matter.” This work draws deeply on the historical philosophical tradition, but it is an introduction for today. From start to finish, its authors demonstrate the relevance of philosophy for perennial questions about meaning, purpose, and human flourishing, ultimately leading the mind upward to the wisdom of God in Christ. I highly recommend it as a textbook for introductory philosophy courses and as an excellent resource for the church.”
