{"product_id":"inroads-1","title":"Inroads","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis unique introduction to philosophy is designed as a companion volume to a number of classic philosophical texts widely used in first- and upper-year philosophy courses. While remaining clear and readable, \u003cem\u003eInroads\u003c\/em\u003e provides detailed analyses of fundamental issues in metaphysics and morals: the existence of God, the meaning of death, and the elements and definitions of the 'good life' for humankind.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCombining a historical with a systematic approach, Murray Miles's work straddles the customary divisions between ancient and modern, and Anglo-American and continental European philosophy. In each of its five main parts – in turn, focusing on Socrates, Plato, Descartes, Hume, and Sartre – \u003cem\u003eInroads\u003c\/em\u003e discusses, from a philosophical rather than a religious or scientific perspective, those questions that make up the common inheritance of academic philosophy and ethico-religious thought. Other features include a detailed glossary of philosophical terms, suggestions for further reading, and questions for reflection and review. \u003cem\u003eInroads\u003c\/em\u003e is a useful text for first-year undergraduate courses or, equally, a sound resource for the general reader looking for a good grounding in philosophy and its history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"By Miles Murray","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43575499587766,"sku":"9780802085313","price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0251\/4980\/0541\/files\/9780802085313_19e3fb99-b15f-486e-85e9-e90a421a7f55.jpg?v=1727459314","url":"https:\/\/combined-academic.myshopify.com\/products\/inroads-1","provider":"Combined Academic Publishers - Mare Nostrum Group","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
