Philosophy Here and Now: Powerful Ideas in Everyday Life
"Philosophy Here and Nowfully relates philosophy to students' lives and teaches them how to do philosophy. Students are encouraged to think critically and to write from the standpoint of doing analytic work and structuring argumentation effectively."--Michael Sturm,Kishwaukee College"Lewis Vaughn's style is exemplary. It is clear, engaging, concise, and logical--and by far more student-friendly than similar textbooks."--Gary Pagels,Northwest Community College"Philosophy Here and Nowshows students that philosophy is a way of life that concerns issues of great import that every human being will have to face at some time or other. The book's pedagogical features do an excellent job of engaging students in a 'real-world' context."--Marcos Arandia,NorthLake College"I have not encountered a text that does a better job of explaining difficult concepts and also challenging students on their own views."--Jesse A. Switzer,University of Mississippi"Vaughn's examples from literature and real-life situations are engaging, diverse, and illuminating."--David Lopez,American River College"The pedagogical features are far superior to the text I currently use. This is an excellent introductory philosophy text with emphasis on logic and on applications of philosophical ideas to real-life situations."--Ruth E. Zollars,Neosho County Community College
