Review 'This book is beautifully written, with a friendly, accessible tone. Introductory philosophy is made clear and engaging with neither condescension nor lack of wita rare feat.' (Malcolm Murray, Department of Philosophy, University of Prince Edward Island) Product Description This unique introduction to philosophy is designed as a companion volume to a number of classic philosophical texts widely used in first and upperyear philosophy courses. While remaining clear and readable, Inroads provides detailed analyses of fundamental issues in metaphysics and morals: the existence of God, the meaning of death, and the elements and definitions of the 'good life' for humankind.Combining a historical with a systematic approach, Murray Miles's work straddles the customary divisions between ancient and modern, and AngloAmerican and continental European philosophy. In each of its five main parts in turn, focusing on Socrates, Plato, Descartes, Hume, and Sartre Inroads discusses, from a philosophical rather than a religious or scientific perspective, those questions that make up the common inheritance of academic philosophy and ethicoreligious thought. Other features include a detailed glossary of philosophical terms, suggestions for further reading, and questions for reflection and review. Inroads is a useful text for firstyear undergraduate courses or, equally, a sound resource for the general reader looking for a good grounding in philosophy and its history.
