Introduction to Philosophy: Classical and Contemporary Readings, Seventh Edition, is the most comprehensive topically organized collection of classical and contemporary philosophy available. Easy to use for both students and instructors alike, the book incorporates boldfaced key terms (listed after each reading and defined in the glossary), a "Logical Toolkit," and a guide to writing philosophy papers.

The seventh edition includes eleven new readings, eight of which are by contemporary women philosophers, including Linda Martín Alcoff, Marilyn McCord Adams, and Annette Baier. In addition, the seventh edition features a greatly expanded ancillary program, with 15 new quiz questions per reading in the Test Bank.
