Experiencing Philosophy by Anthony F. Falikowski (2003, Paperback)

Anthony Falikowski pays serious attention in this new text to the personal and practical relevance of philosophy by focusing on its experiential, therapeutic, and social applications. The "applied focus," intended to inspire students to further their studies in philosophy, is complemented by a built-in study guide and substantial excerpts from classical original sources. By combining the theoretical with the practical through the integration of descriptive outlines, readings, and numerous pedagogical aids, this text strikes an educationally productive balance between accessibility and academic rigor.
