Philosophy in Practice: An Introduction to the Main Questions
Published in Hardcover by Blackwell Publishers (1996)
Author: Adam Morton
Amazon base price: $108.95
Average review score:

Excellent Coverage of Philosophies Main Ideas
The title of this book proposes it as an 'introduction', and it is. But it takes you much much further than that, without making you feel like you are struggling to get there.
My only complaints about this book are very minor. There is one paragraph in the book which I disagree with, and have strong evidence to show that it is an error, wheather the author would agree with my position, I don't know. This being the only piece of text I would really change. Not bad for a book of this size.
My other minor quibble is that this is a text book and has the look of a text book. Why not shop this book to a wide audience ? It's far far better than any non fiction philosophy book I've seen, marketed to the public.
Oh, and one other thing, that goes hand in hand with the above point, the index is ok, but could be better.

I read this book soon after it came out and what I learned has been very valuable since then.
If you know nothing about philosophy and want to become a crack philosopher over night, or if you are already a crack philosopher and want to see how to write a great book, go out and buy Mortons Philosophy In Practice - Now !
Highly Recommended !

Limited as a Stand Alone Book
This book is a textbook for teaching introductory epistemology. The book is organized in a thematic manner with chapters addressing basic terminology, perception, aspects of knowledge, moral knowledge, probability, and several other topics. This is not the usual historical sequence that would be used by most. The chapters are written clearly but do not cohere well. The organization and structure of the book reflects its origin as a text for an introductory class. In addition to the thematic organization, each chapter is followed by a set of questions for students. There are brief but adequate paragraphs suggesting further reading at the end of each chapter. This book is really the armature a good teacher would use to present a basic course on this topic. With additional assigned readings, good lectures, and appropriate use of the questions, I can imagine easily that this book would be an important part of a good course. As a stand alone book on this topic, however, this book is less successful.
