Download Just the Arguments: 100 of the Most Important Arguments in Western Philosophy AudioBook Free
Philosophers don't just make a claim, they give arguments. Does the presence of bad call into uncertainty the presence of God? Show me the debate. Will living a just life lead to happiness? Show me the debate. Philosophy starts off with questions, but attempts at answers are just as important, and these answers require reasoned debate. Slicing through notoriously thick and verbose philosophical prose, the writers set 100 famous and influential arguments in framework, including key quotations, to clarify the initial style and approach. Each debate is laid bare in its essential form, with premises and conclusions plainly determined and the proper execution of argument specified. Designed to give you a quick and compact reference to everything from Aquinas' Five Ways to prove the presence of God to the metaphysical likelihood of zombie intellects, Just the Arguments can be an invaluable one-stop debate shop.
