| The Liberating Art of Philosophy: A Foundational Anthology |
Dr. Ross Reed, lecturer in arts, languages, and philosophy at Missouri S&T, recently published The Liberating Art of Philosophy: A Foundational Anthology through Cognella Academic Publishing. It is Reed’s sixth published book.
“Much of what passes for ‘introductory’ material in philosophy is difficult and, to put it bluntly, not particularly interesting,” says Reed. “I wrote this book in hopes of making the subject matter not only more accessible, but also more interesting.”
In the new book, readers can find articles and abstracts that cover early philosophy from Socrates and Plato in the fourth and fifth centuries BC to more modern philosophers, including Descartes, Bacon, Hobbes, Wollstonecraft and more. The book also looks at Asian and Ancient Near Eastern philosophies from China, India, Nepal, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Iraq.
