Twenty Questions With Infotrac
by Robert C. Solomon
TWENTY QUESTIONS, one of the best selling introduction to philosophy anthologies available today, presents a proven, well-acclaimed forum for introducing students to the rich variety of philosophical reflection. Animated by some of philosophy's more concrete questions--questions that students are likely to have pondered long before signing up for their first philosophy classes--TWENTY QUESTIONS fosters the creative exploration of many renowned classical and contemporary thinkers' responses to the very same questions.

Means to Message
by Stanley L. Jaki
In his provocative new book, philosopher Stanley Jaki offers an original and rigorous assessment of the nature of truth that boldly challenges the lack of concern for objective reality so common to philosophical discourse today. According to Jaki, every philosophy is a message, and conveying that message requires a tangible means. The first task of the philosopher's message is to fully account for the reality of the means. This book aims at unfolding the consequences of this task for the main topics of philosophy. After laying the philosophical groundwork for objective discernment, Jaki considers free will, purpose, causality, change, the mind, ethics, God, miracles, and more. An important corrective to much of the philosophical work of the day, Means to Message makes a convincing case for a realist epistemology that is fully open to metaphysics.
Some Problems of Philosophy
by William James
With the clarity that William James deemed obligatory, Some Problems of Philosophy outlines his theory of perception. The early chapters expose the defects of intellectualism and monism and the advantages of empiricism and pluralism. The novelty that enters into concrete perceptual experience, and that is disallowed by the rationalizing intellect, suggests exciting possibilities. Denied any absolute truth in an ever-changing world, privy to only a piece of the truth at any given moment, the individual can, with faith and good will, help create order out of chaos. Some Problems of Philosophy, published posthumously, represents an important advance in William James's thought.
