Features: This is a comprehensive, well-written, accessible, and insightful book that integrates contemporary philosophical research trends with social dynamics. The chapters of the book, except for the first one which introduces what philosophy is, cover important branches of philosophy such as epistemology, metaphysics, philosophy of mind, ethics, and more. It can be said to provide a macroscopic bird's-eye view of the academic research field of philosophy.
In addition to introducing the relevant aspects of each philosophical discipline, each chapter includes "current hot topics" related to the respective branches of philosophy. Through discussions of these topics that are closely tied to current social dynamics, philosophy is no longer an abstract and inaccessible theory confined to the ivory tower, but rather a powerful tool that helps us clarify daily life and challenges.
