Talking About Worldviews: A Conversational Introduction to Thinking Philosophically
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
Talking About Worldviews offers an engaging way to learn about the real-life implications of philosophical viewpoints. Each chapter opens with a conversation among four fictional professionals participating in a group for exploring personal worldview commitments. The characters explore their different belief systems, rooted in Eastern traditions, atheist materialism, Christianity, humanism, or others; then the remainder of each chapter delves more deeply into the major issues and perspectives reflected in the discussion.
This book models civil dialogue regarding the strengths and weaknesses of different worldviews, then explores the issues more thoroughly through a Christian lens. The major areas covered are those of standard introductory philosophy textbooks:
- Logical fallacies
- Monism and pluralism
- Epistemology
- Human rights
- The nature of death
Authors Mark J. Farnham, Michael S. Jones, and David L. Saxon guide readers to explore what they believe and why they believe it. Study aids in each chapter include overviews, questions to ponder, a list of vocabulary terms, and suggestions for further reading. An ideal textbook for undergraduate philosophy courses, it is also accessible enough for high school classes and personal study.
