About this product
Product Information
Social and political philosophy, unlike other fields and disciplines, involves conflict, disagreement, deliberation, and action. This text takes a new approach and understands philosophy not so much as a story of great thinkers or as a collection of philosophical positions but as a series of debates and disagreements in which students must participate. Adopting what may be called an 'active learning' method, Richard Schmitt, who has long taught social and political philosophy in the Ivy Leagues as well at state colleges, presents a range of problems and debates which engage the core question of freedom. Too often, students are bewildered, and then bored, by highly abstract philosophical questions because they are unable to connect those abstract issues to their own life experiences.

Reviews
Clearly written, forcefully argued, filled with a wealth of instructive, student-friendly examples, this book is a welcome addition to resources for studying key issues in social and political philosophy., Schmitt's Introduction to Social and Political Philosophy is refreshingly radical in a most philosophically illuminating manner that makes for a most wonderful learning experience in the classroom. This book masterfully speaks to how ordinary experiences occasion philosophical reflection., This terrific textbook includes all the philosophical resources necessary to offer an introduction to social and political philosophy that is especially welcoming for students with limited college preparation. Schmitt poses problems that are fresh, vivid, and immediately engaging, and he follows them up with searching questions designed to stimulate students. Schmitt advocates a question-based pedagogy that encourages students to reflect on the actual moral and political difficulties they encounter in daily life. With so many introductions to philosophy already available, it is hard to write one that is better.
