Second Edition - Adam Morton

Welcome to the PHILOSOPHY IN PRACTICE website

PHILOSOPHY IN PRACTICE is a completely new kind of introductory philosophy textbook, focusing on philosophy as an activity, rather than as a doctrine. At its heart is a stimulating sequence of exercises, activities and examples, which lead the student directly into philosophical thinking and arguing, enabling the instructor to lecture less and the students to talk more.

This extensively revised second edition now includes new discussions of:

  • the philosophy of religion
  • freedom
  • The Matrix
  • the epistemology of the internet
The accompanying PHILOSOPHY IN PRACTICE TEACHER'S GUIDE offering tips on planning your introductory philosophy course, suggestions for teaching with the book, sample content and course diary from Adam Morton's own course, advice on teaching philosophy, plus tests, essay topics and a reading list is now available online.
