Аннотация: Here at last is a coherent, unintimidating
introduction to the challenging and fascinating landscape of
Western philosophy. Written expressly for "anyone who believes
there are big questions out there, but does not know how to
approach them," Think provides a sound framework for exploring the
most basic themes of philosophy, and for understanding how major
philosophers have tackled the questions that have pressed
themselves most forcefully on human consciousness. Simon Blackburn,
author of the best-selling Oxford Dictionary of Philosophy, begins
by making a convincing case for the relevance of philosophy and
goes on to give the reader a sense of how the great historical
figures such as Plato, Hume, Kant, Descartes, and others have
approached its central themes. In a lively and accessible style,
Blackburn approaches the nature of human reflection and how we
think, or can think, about knowledge, fate, ethics, identity, God,
reason, and truth. Each chapter explains a major issue, and gives
the reader a self-contained guide through the problems that the
philosophers have studied. Because the text approaches these issues
from the gound up, the untrained reader will emerge from its pages
able to explore other philosophies with greater pleasure and
understanding and be able to think--philosophically--for him or
herself. Philosophy is often dismissed as a purely academic
discipline with no relation to the "real" world non-philosophers
are compelled to inhabit. Think dispels this myth and offers a
springboard for all those who want to learn how the basic
techniques of thinking shape our virtually every aspect of our
existence.
