Knowing, Being, Doing
The aim of this book is twofold: to teach you to become a critical reader, who can identify positions, arguments, and structures in an academic text; and to introduce you to some important positions and ideas in order to enable you to discuss the big questions raised in the book.
Exphil: textbook with primary texts
In this book, we seek to answer these questions by exami ning contributions from the history of philosophy, science and ethics. The book has 20 chapters divided into three parts. Part 1, Knowing, asks questions about knowledge. Part 2, Being, starts by asking about what is real. Part 3, Doing, is devoted to ethics. Each chapter has an intro duction and original texts written by contemporary think ers and important figures from the history of philosophy and science. The chapters are also accompanied by study questions and learning goals.

What does it mean to possess knowledge about some thing? What kinds of things exist and can be known? How should we live? What matters and what has value?
