Looking at Philosophy: The Unbearable Heaviness of Philosophy Made Lighter by Donald D. Palmer

Distilled from Donald Palmer's more than 30 years of teaching experiences, this approachable text exemplifies Dr. Palmer's very successful light-hearted approach to teaching introduction to philosophy. Through the use of humor, drawings, charts, and diagrams, serious philosophical topics come alive for the readers - without compromising the seriousness of the subject matter.
