Designed to accompany any Introductory Philosophy textbook, this supplement is especially useful in classes using primary source readings. Its chief aim is to focus students on appreciating and considering issues in a philosophical manner. The book accelerates learning by heightening student awareness of what to look for so that reading, writing, and discussing are more evocative and effective. A PHILOSOPHER'S COMPASS makes abstract discussion accessible, with frequent illustrations of the dimensions of issues that philosophy uniquely explores.
