• An introduction to the basic concepts and approaches of the discipline of philosophy, including: principles of argument, fallacies, and applied ethics.

• Revised chapter on Web resources―Includes the most up-to-date resources as well as on-line research strategies.
• Rewritten sections on writing ethics papers―Emphasizes continuity between ethics and other argumentative writing.
