Collateral Reading


`But seriously, what is philosophy? In a simple and engaging style Arthur Danto sets out to explore the territory of philosophers Epimenides the Cretan asserting that all Cretans are liars (true or false?), Plato and the cave, Anselm`s ontological proof of the existence of God, Descartes`s cogito ergo sum, Newton`s apple and Wittgenstein`s logical positivism. In this easily understood introduction the author elucidates many of the central problems in philosophy, such as appearance and reality, and freedom and determinism, and sets them in just relation to the way we think and act.`
