Introduction to Philosophical Principles

Introduction to Philosophical Principles: Logic, Physics, and the Human Person, Third Edition

This introduction sets out the essential principles for any serious philosophical inquiry, making them clear and accessible without watering them down.

Brian Kemple organizes the material in three parts: logic, physics, and the human person, covering our encounter with thought, with the world, and with the meeting of the two. Drawing on Thomism, semiotics, and phenomenology, the book aims less at surveying the history of philosophy than at building a real habit of philosophical thinking.

Now in its third edition, it is well suited to students, homeschoolers, and adult readers beginning philosophy.
