"The pluralistic form takes for me a stronger hold on reality than any other philosophy I know of, being essentially a social philosophy, a philosophy of 'co'"-William James
I'm considering a new text to replace Passion for Wisdom in this course in the future. I'd welcome your feedback. Specifically, check out A Little History of Philosophy hereand let me know what you think.
I think it would be a good idea, as Passion for Wisdom went over to many people in to short of a time, so much so that I had a hard time learning from it
Is that because you found PW deficient, or did we just read it too quickly? Would it have been better to integrate the readings from PW and Doubt, instead of doing them serially? And do you find the author's voice in "A Little History" appropriate for a college-level course? (Even an introductory course?)
