Problems from Philosophy is an introductory philosophy text organized around the great philosophical problems: the existence of God, the nature of the mind, human freedom, the limits of knowledge, and the truth about ethics. The book begins by reflecting on the life of the first great philosopher, Socrates. Then it takes up the fundamental question of whether God exists. Next comes a discussion of death and the soul, which leads to a chapter about persons. The later chapters consider whether objective knowledge is possible in science and ethics.
