Introducing Philosophy: A Text with Integrated Readings, Thirteenth Edition, is an exciting, accessible, and thorough introduction to the core questions of philosophy and the many ways in which they are, and have been, answered. The authors combine substantial selections from significant works in the history of philosophy with excerpts from current philosophy, clarifying the readings and providing context with their own detailed commentary and explanation. Spanning 2,500 years, the selections range from the oldest known fragments to cutting-edge contemporary essays.

Higgins, and Robert C. Solomon, leverage their extensive academic backgrounds to curate a comprehensive survey of philosophical thought spanning 2,500 years. By organizing the material topically rather than chronologically, they provide a framework that allows students to compare diverse perspectives, including analytic, continental, feminist, and non-Western traditions, against the backdrop of foundational Western texts.
