Description

What can Philosophy do for you? This box set contains three insightful Introducing Graphic Guides guaranteed to expand your mind. Using comic-book style illustration combined with accessible but authoritative text, the Introducing Graphic Guide series is a uniquely brilliant way to get your head around some of humankind's most thrilling ideas. Dave Robinson and Judy Groves' Introducing Philosophy explores the awkward and provocative questions that philosophers have always enjoyed asking, such as: what is the nature of reality? Can we prove that God exists? Does language provide us with a true picture of the world? Comprehensive and enjoyable, it examines the key arguments and ideas off all the significant philosophers of the Western world from Heraclitus to Derrida. Introducing Ethics, by Dave Robinson and Chris Garratt, explores the moral dilemmas, big or small, that affect everyone. How can philosophers help us decide how to vote, or whether it's right to assist someone who wants to die?
Tracing the arguments of great moral thinkers from Plato to Sartre, John Rawls and Richard Rorty, this book may not answer all of your moral dilemmas, but it will make you better equipped to think about them. Dan Cryan, Sharron Shatil and Bill Mayblin's Introducing Logic explores this backbone of Western civilisation. From 'fuzzy' logic to the liar paradox, and from Plato and Aristotle to Alan Turing and Lugwig Wittgenstein, this cleverly illustrated guide cuts across philosophy, science and much more.
