Description

By offering the statement, "the truth or truths we accept determine what our lives are and will be," the authors of this volume explore the contemporary world and all of its contradictions, from starvation, AIDS, and illiteracy to digital technology, the human genome project, and the financial markets of Wall Street and Tokyo. This engaging, accessible text examines the truth propounded by a range of philosophies, such as critical theory, existentialism, feminism, and nihilism, discussing their practical applications and offering responses to the questions asked.
