Engage with Foundational Ideas
Students in introductory philosophy courses become familiar with major philosophical problems and the methods of dealing with them. They also learn how to read and interpret philosophical texts and demonstrate what it means to adopt a "philosophical attitude" as an elevated form of human curiosity and resistance to any kind of dogmatism.Gale Researcher provides an accessible guide for undergraduate philosophy students that is thorough, balanced, rigorous, and historically informed. To support philosophical learning, materials focus on predominant themes such as politics and society, democracy and law, religion, the development of science, ethics, the meaning of life, and many others. Empower students to build new insights with a foundation in the historical and modern perspectives that have shaped our thinking.
