Description



Book Synopsis



An accessible, comprehensive, and innovative introduction to philosophy that connects timeless questions to the lives of students

Think Again is a personal and cutting-edge introduction to philosophy by award-winning teacher and renowned public philosopher John Kaag. The book encourages students to relate to their own lives the important questions raised by philosophy over the millennia. Motivated by the belief that teaching is fundamental to philosophy, the book has been carefully designed and written to be accessible to a wide range of undergraduates at a broad array of schools.

Think Again proceeds historically, guiding students from the ancients through to 1900 and the birth of contemporary philosophy. From there, it proceeds thematically, covering topics as diverse as metaphysics and epistemology, philosophy of mind, moral and political philosophy, and philosophical approaches to oppression. It features skillfully selected excerpts of primary texts from philosophy to encourage students' direct engagement with and close reading of foundational texts.

  • Personal and conversational style
  • Historical and thematic coverage
  • Primary text excerpts
  • Learning objectives
  • Chapter reviews that include a summary, key terms, review questions, and additional readings
  • Three types of boxed features: Historical Context, Writing Philosophically, and Thinking Critically
