Philosophy: An Innovative Introduction: Fictive Narrative, Primary Texts, and Responsive Writing
This new book features a unique, engaging approach to introduce students to philosophy. It combines traditional readings and exercises with fictive narratives starring central figures in the history of the field from Plato to Martin Luther King, Jr. The book makes innovative use of compelling short stories from two writers who have prominently combined philosophy and fiction in their work. These narratives illuminate pivotal aspects of the carefully selected classic readings that follow. This gives students two ways to understand the philosophical positions: through indirect argument in fiction and through direct, deductive presentations. Study questions and writing exercises accompany each set of readings and help students grasp the material and create their own arguments.discourse can be used to reconstruct and respond to every sort of discourse ( written or visual). ... Philosophy ac Have you found the point of contention or claim in either the direct- discourse selection or the fictive-narrative philosophy selection?
