Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Philosophical Problems
Laurence BonJour · 2005
70/100
👍 Worth It
As an introductory philosophy anthology for undergraduates, this does its job well — broad thematic coverage, BonJour's clarifying annotations, and a mix of historical and contemporary readings that map the discipline faithfully. It is not a book for leisure reading, and the textbook pricing puts it out of reach for casual browsers. For a college course or independent student working through the major problems of analytic philosophy, it is a solid and honest resource.
