Summary:"Combining a historical with a systematic approach, Murray Miles's work straddles the customary divisions between ancient and modern, but also between Anglo-American and continental European philosophy. In each of five main parts devoted to Socrates, Plato, Descartes, Hume, and Sartre, respectively, Inroads 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 of other kinds. Other features include a detailed glossary of philosophical terms, suggestions for further reading, and questions for reflection and review. Inroads is a useful text for first- or upper-year undergraduate courses or, equally, a sound resource for the general reader looking for a good grounding in philosophy and its history."--BOOK JACKET.
