Unique Intro to Philosophy Synthesizes Three Distinct Approaches


LIFE'S ULTIMATE QUESTIONS is unique among introductory philosophy textbooks in that it synthesizes three distinct approaches-topical, historical, and worldview/conceptual systems-affording students a breadth and depth of perspective previously unavailable in standard introductory texts.

Author Ronald H. Nash, professor of Philosophy and Theology at Reformed Theological Seminary, focuses primarily on worldviews, explaining what they are and the role that they play in everyone's lives. He also helps students begin to understand their own worldview. He then focuses on six specific views: naturalism, and the views of Plato, Aristotle, Plotinus, Augustine, and Aquinas. Finally, he covers several noteworthy issues in philosophy, including:

  • The Law of Noncontradiction
  • Possible Worlds
  • Whatever Happened to Truth?
  • A Tale of Two Systems
  • Reformed Epistemology
  • The Existence of God
  • The Nature of God
  • Indeterminism
  • Ethics
  • The Mind-Body Problem
  • Survival After Death

    The three-level approach Nash takes in Life's Ultimate Questions teaches students basic philosophical concepts while also introducing them to key historical figures and important discussions within the discipline.
